Segments AB and DC are congruent if they have the same magnitude (aka length).

And how do you determine the two have the same magnitude?

One way to tell is by the tick marks that run perpendicular on the segments. If they share the same amount tick marks, or in the case where there is a value associated with the tick mark and the two segments have the same value, the segments are understood to be equal in magnitude.
