What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, which means if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

What is the definition of AAS?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, which means if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
