I'm trying to do a proof.
What is it called when a line equals itself
ex. line AB = line AB

thanks!

Two separate lines of length AB are said to be congruent if they can be brought into coincidence with one another.

I'm not sure that you really mean that "line" AB is equal to itself....

That said, the Reflexive Property of Equality, or the Reflexive Property of Congruence, says that

any number is equal to itself
or
any figure is congruent to itself

I hope this helps you.
