What proves congruence?

·         SSS – all three sides are the same in both triangles

·         SAS – two sides are the same, the angle between them is the same

·         ASA – two angles are the same, the side between them is the same

·         AAS – two angles are the same, a side not between them is the same

·         HL    - in a right triangle – the hypotenuse and leg are the same

o   In all of these, any “S” means EQUAL sides.

o   Any “A”, like in similarity, means equal angles.
