What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a theorem that states if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a theorem that states if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a theorem that states 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.

What is the difference between SAS and AAS?

Back

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