--- title: Geometry --- ## Overview Two sets are **congruent** if their points can be put in one-to-one correspondence in such a way that distances are preserved. %%ANKI Basic Suppose sets $P$ and $Q$ are congruent. What does this imply the existence of? Back: A bijection between $P$ and $Q$ that preserves distances between points. Reference: Tom M.

END%% %%ANKI Basic Suppose sets $P$ and $Q$ are congruent and $f$ is the corresponding bijection. What FOL proposition follows? Back: $\forall p_1, p_2 \in P, \lvert p_1 - p_2 \rvert = \lvert f(p_1) - f(p_2) \rvert$ Reference: Tom M.
