l. Congruence
A. CongruenL means Lhe same.

8. 1wo Lrlangles are congruenL lf and only lf Lhelr
correspondlng angles and sldes are congruenL.

Angles can be named wlLh one polnL (Lhe verLex) or by Lhree polnLs
(wlLh Lhe verLex ln Lhe mlddle)
ll. Congruency ShorLcuLs
A. SSS (Slde - Slde - Slde)
lf Lhe Lhree sldes of one Lrlangle are congruenL Lo
Lhe Lhree sldes of anoLher Lrlangle, Lhen Lhe Lwo
Lrlangles are congruenL.
8. SAS (Slde-Angle-Slde)
lf Lwo sldes and Lhe lncluded angle (angle formed by Lhose
sldes/ ln beLween Lhem) are congruenL Lo Lwo sldes and Lhe
lncluded angle of anoLher Lrlangle, Lhen Lhe Lwo Lrlangles are
congruenL.

lncluded Angle?
C. ASA (Angle - Slde - Angle)
lf Lwo angles and Lhe lncluded slde of one Lrlangle are
congruenL Lo Lwo angles and Lhe lncluded slde of anoLher
Lrlangle, Lhen Lhe Lwo Lrlangles are congruenL.
ll. Congruency ShorLcuLs
u. AAS (Angle - Angle - Slde)
lf Lwo angles and a non-lncluded slde of one Lrlangle are
congruenL Lo Lwo angles and Lhe correspondlng non-lncluded
slde of anoLher Lrlangle, Lhen Lhe Lwo Lrlangles are congruenL.
