Answer:
Congruent Polygons
Definition: Polygons are congruent when they have the same number of sides, and all corresponding sides and interior angles are congruent. The polygons will have the same shape and size, but one may be a rotated, or be the mirror image of the other.
Note: This entry deals with the congruence of polygons in general. Congruent triangles are discussed in more depth in Congruent Triangles.
Polygons are congruent if they are equal in all respects:
Same number of sides
All corresponding sides are the same length,
All corresponding interior angles are the same measure.
But they can be rotated on the page and one can be a mirror image of the other. In the figure below, all the irregular pentagons shown are congruent. Some are mirror images of the others, but are still congruent. (See the page on congruent triangles where these ideas are illustrated in greater depth.)
One way to think about this is to imagine the polygons are made of cardboard. If you can move them, turn them over and stack them exactly on top of each other, then they are congruent. To see this, click on any polygon below. It will be flipped over, rotated and stacked on another as needed to demonstrate that they are congruent.
