TRIANGLE CONGRUENCE POSTULATES

S A S , A S A A N D S S S C O N G R U E N C E P O S T U L AT E S .
• Included angle is the angle • Included side is the side
between two sides of a common to two angles of a
triangle triangle.
 SAS (SIDE-ANGLE-SIDE) CONGRUENCE
POSTULATE
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent
to the corresponding two sides and an included sangle of another
triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
 ASA (ANGLE-SIDE-ANGLE) CONGRUENCE
POSTULATE
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent
to the corresponding two angles and an included side of another
triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
 SSS (SIDE-SIDE-SIDE) CONGRUENCE
POSTULATE
If three sides of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding
three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

HyL (Hypotenuse-Leg) Congruence Theorem
If the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the
corresponding hypotenuse and a leg of another triangle, then the triangles
are congruent.
