Proving Triangles 
Congruent 
jc-schools.net/PPT/geometrycongruence.ppt
Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) 
Congruence Postulate 
Two angles and the INCLUDED side
Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) 
Postulate 8-3: 
If two angles and the included side of 
one triangle are congruent to two angles 
and the included side of another triangle, 
then the two triangles are congruent.

Congruence Postulate 
Two Angles and One Side that is 
NOT included
Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) 
Theorem 8-1: 
If two angles and the nonincluded 
side of one triangle are congruent to two 
angles and the nonincluded side of 
another triangle, then the two triangles 
are congruent.
