Geom .: To fall upon the same spot; thus, if one triangle be applied to or placed upon another triangle equal to it, the points of the one triangle are said to coincide with those of the other triangle and the sides with the sides. Crabb thus distinguishes between to coincide and to concur: " Coincide implies simply meeting at a point: concur running toward a point; the former seems to exclude the idea of design, the latter that of chance; two sides of different triangles coincide when they are applied to each other so as to fall on the same points; two powers concur when they both act so as to produce the same result." (Crabb: Eng. Synon.)
