Polygon Congruence Postulate:
Two polygons are congruent if and only if there
is a correspondence between their sides and
angles such that:
1. Each pair of corresponding angles is congruent.
2. Each pair of corresponding sides is congruent.

Congruent Triangles
Geometric figures are congruent if they are
the same size and shape.
Two polygons are congruent polygons if
and only if their corresponding sides and
angles are congruent. Thus polygons that are
the same size and shape are congruent.
