What is the ASA triangle congruence theorem?

Back

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.

Front

What is the AAS triangle congruence theorem?

Back

If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and a corresponding non-included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

If two triangles have two angles equal and the side opposite one of the angles is equal, what can be concluded?

Back

The triangles are congruent by AAS.

Front

If two triangles have two angles and the included side equal, what can be concluded?

Back

The triangles are congruent by ASA.

Front

What is the difference between ASA and AAS?

Back

ASA requires the included side between the two angles, while AAS does not require the side to be included.
