What is the SSS postulate?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side; if three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

What is the AAS theorem?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side; 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.
