Chris: "A prisoner didn't shave for a week and grew some whiskers."
What's this got to do with congruency?
"Congruent" - definition: geometric figures of the same shape and the same size
Note: The figures don't have to be facing in the same direction to be congruent. Think of it as...
"If I cut one shape out, I can rotate it, place it over the top of another shape and the two shapes will match up exactly."
What if our prisoner above (our con) had a twin brothers who also grew some whiskers....
Even though con #2 is facing in another direction, he and con #1 are, indeed, congruent.
