What is the ASA postulate?

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 SAS postulate?

Back

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.

Front

What is the SSS postulate?

Back

If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the HL postulate?

Back

If the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the AAS postulate?

Back

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.
