Congruent Segments and Midpoints

The video tutorial introduces three key geometry vocabulary words: congruent, midpoint, and bisect. Congruent refers to segments that are equal in size, often represented by a special symbol. Midpoint is a point that divides a segment into two equal parts, making them congruent. Bisect means to cut something in half, resulting in two congruent segments. The tutorial includes examples and problem-solving exercises to illustrate these concepts.
