Congruence (geometry) size. (Most definitions consider congruence to be a form of similarity, although a minority require that the objects have different sizes in order to qualify as similar.) For two polygons to be congruent, they must have an equal number of sides (and hence an equal number—the same number—of vertices). Two polygons with "n" sides are congruent if and only if they each have numerically identical sequences (even if clockwise for one polygon and counterclockwise for the other) side-angle-side-angle-... for "n" sides and "n" angles. Congruence of polygons can be established graphically as follows: If at any time the step cannot
Coxeter decompositions of hyperbolic polygons of polygons in which any two sharing a side are reflections of each other along that side. The goal of a Coxeter decomposition is to break up a polygon into a composition of congruent triangles reflected on its sides. If triangle ABC can undergo Coxeter decomposition and has angles formula_1, where formula_2 is the number of times the formula_3th angle is broken up, the triangle ABC can be written as formula_4. Several properties of these fundamental polygons are known for hyperbolic triangles. Quadrilaterals may also have Coxeter decompositions.
