Congruent Triangles Flashcards
SAS postulate
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent
SSS postulate
If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent
ASA postulate
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included triangle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent
Isosceles triangle theorem
If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent

AAS theorem
If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent
HL theorem
If the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent
