Key Concepts

Right Angle

A right angle is an angle that is defined to measure exactly 90 degrees. This definition is a fundamental aspect of Euclidean geometry and provides a standardized way to refer to angles that meet this exact measure, establishing uniformity across geometric figures and proofs.

Congruence

Congruence in geometry refers to the concept that two figures or angles are identical in measure and shape. When it comes to right angles, since each one is defined to be exactly 90 degrees, they all share the same measure, making them congruent by definition. This notion is central to proving properties and theorems in geometry.
