The Congruence shortcuts

There are 4 different congruence shortcuts, and you use them to find out whether two triangles are congruent or not. The types are: Side-Side-Side (SSS), Side-Angle-Side (SAS), Angle-Side-Angle (ASA), and Angle-Angle-Side (AAS).

All three sides are marked with congruent marks
 stating that they're both congruent
SSS: If three sides of a triangle is congruent to three sides of another triangle then they are both congruent.








SAS: If two sides of a triangle and the included angle are congruent to the two sides of another triangle and its included angle then the two triangles are congruent









ASA: Triangles are congruent if any two angles and their included side are equal in both sides.









AAS: Triangles are congruent if two pairs of corresponding angles and a pair of opposite sides are equal in both angles
