What does the SAS criterion for triangle congruence state?
Back
The SAS criterion states that if two sides of one triangle are equal to two sides of another triangle, and the included angle between those sides is also equal, then the triangles are congruent.

Explain the ASA criterion for triangle congruence.
Back
The ASA criterion states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

What is the AAS criterion for triangle congruence?
Back
The AAS criterion states that if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Define the HL criterion for triangle congruence.
Back
The HL criterion applies to right triangles and states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of one right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
