This document outlines several theorems and postulates related to triangle congruence and properties. It defines the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA), Side-Side-Side (SSS), Angle-Angle-Side (AAS), Leg-Leg (LL), Leg-Angle (LA), Hypotenuse-Leg (HyL), and Hypotenuse-Angle (HyA) congruence criteria. It also describes properties of isosceles triangles, triangle inequalities, exterior angles, and the hinge theorem. All of these principles are used to determine when two triangles are congruent based on corresponding angles and sides.

-If the two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and included side of another triangle then the triangles are congruent.
ASA-(Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence Postulate
-If the two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and included side of another triangle then the triangles are congruent.
SSS-(Side-Side-Side) Congruence Postulate
-If the three sides of one triangle are congruent to the three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
AAS-(Angle-Angle-Side) Congruence Theorem
-If the two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and a non-included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
LL-(Leg-Leg) Congruence Theorem
-If the legs of one right triangle are congruent to the legs of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
LA-(Leg-Angle) Congruence Theorem
-If a leg and an acute angle of one triangle are congruence to a leg and an acute angle of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
HyL-(Hypotenuse-Leg) Congruence Theorem
-If a leg and an acute angle of one triangle are congruent to a leg and an acute angle of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent. HyA-(Hypotenuse-Angle) Congruence Theorem -If a hypotenuse and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to corresponding hypotenuse and acute angle of another right triangle then the triangle are congruent.
Isosceles Triangle Theorem
-If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite, those sides are congruent.
Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem
-If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite those angles are congruent.
Triangle Inequality Theorem 1 (Ss→Aa)
-If one side of a triangle is longer than a second side, then the angle opposite the first side is larger than the angle opposite the second side.
Triangle Inequality Theorem 2 (Aa→Ss)
-If one angle of a triangle is larger than a second angle, then the side opposite the first angle is longer than the side opposite the second angle.
Triangle Inequality Theorem 3 (S1+S2+S3)
-The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem
-The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of either remote interior angle.
Hinge Theorem or SAS Inequality Theorem
-If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, but the included angle of the first triangle is greater than the included angle of the second, the third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of the second.
