Step1: Recall congruent - segment definition
Two segments are congruent if they have the same length.
Step2: Identify lengths
From the figure, the length of $\overline{PQ}=58$ m. But there is no information about the length of $\overline{XY}$. However, if we assume the two - polygons are related in a way that we can compare corresponding parts, and since no other information about $\overline{XY}$ is given and we have no reason to assume it has the same length as $\overline{PQ}$, we consider the general case.
