To determine if two figures are congruent, check the following:
1. **Identification of Corresponding Parts**: Identify the corresponding sides and angles of both figures.
2. **Side Lengths**: Compare the lengths of corresponding sides. All sides must be equal.
3. **Angle Measures**: Compare the measures of corresponding angles. All angles must be equal.
4. **Rigid Transformations**: Verify if one figure can be transformed into the other using rigid transformations (translations, rotations, and reflections).
If all corresponding sides and angles are equal, or if the figures can be made to overlap perfectly through these transformations, the figures are congruent.
