AB\overline{AB} denotes a segment ABAB, that is the set of points A,BA,B and all the points between them. The distance ABAB is called the length of AB\overline{AB}. Two segments are said to be congruent if they have equal lengths.


Therefore, AB\overline{AB} is congruent to CD\overline{CD} means that the length of AB\overline{AB} is equal to the length of CD\overline{CD}. This is the same that AB=CD.AB=CD. Therefore, there is no difference between these statements.
