    Two triangles are congruent if they have equal sides and angles, which can be shown through five properties: side-side-side (SSS), side-angle-side (SAS), angle-side-angle (ASA), angle-angle-side (AAS), and right-angle-hypotenuse-side (RHS). The document explains the five properties that can be used to prove triangles are congruent and notes that angle-angle-angle (AAA) alone does not prove congruence.

    Congruent triangles

    Two triangles are congruent when they are identical – they have the same 3 sides and the
    same 3 angles. Below are the 5 ways to show two triangles are congruent. Each way only
    requires three identifiers

    ≅ is the symbol for ‘is congruent to’

    The three identifiers

    SSS
    (side, side, side)
    ≅

    SAS
    (side, included angle, side) ≅

    ASA
    (angle, included side,
    angle)
    ≅

    AAS
    (angle, angle, ≅
    non-included side)

    RHS
    (right-angle, hypotenuse,
    ≅
    another side)

    Why doesn’t AAA prove congruence?


    For RHS, why can it be either of the other two sides from each triangle that are equal?
