How can you determine if two triangles are congruent using side lengths?

Back

You can determine if two triangles are congruent using the Side-Side-Side (SSS) postulate, which states that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

What is the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) congruence criterion?

Back

The Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) congruence 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, the triangles are congruent.
