What is the ASA congruence theorem?

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.

What is the AAS congruence theorem?

Back

If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and a corresponding non-included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

What is the difference between ASA and AAS?

Back

The difference is that ASA requires the included side between the two angles, while AAS does not require the side to be included.

If two triangles have two equal angles, what can be said about their sides?

Back

The sides opposite the equal angles are proportional, and the triangles are similar.
