Triangle Congruence Theorems
Congruent Triangles
Congruent triangles have three
congruent sides and and three
congruent angles.
However, triangles can be proved
congruent without showing 3 pairs of
congruent sides and angles.

Theorem
If two angles in one triangle are
congruent to two angles in
another triangle, the third angles
must also be congruent.
Think about it… they have to add
up to 180°.
A closer look...
If two triangles have two
pairs of angles congruent,
then their third pair of
angles is congruent.
But do the two triangles
have to be congruent?

Why aren’t these triangles congruent?
What do we call these triangles?
So, how do we prove
that two triangles really
are congruent?
ASA (Angle, Side, Angle)
A
C
D
If two angles and the
included side of one
triangle are congruent
to two angles and the
B
included side of another
triangle, . . .
F
E
then
the 2 triangles are
CONGRUENT!
AAS (Angle, Angle, Side)
Special case of ASA
If two angles and a nonincluded side of one triangle
are congruent to two angles
and the corresponding non- C
included side of another
triangle, . . .
then
the 2 triangles are
CONGRUENT!

If in two triangles, two
sides and the included
angle of one are
congruent to two sides
B and the included angle
of the other, . . .

then

In two triangles, if 3
sides of one are
congruent to three sides
of the other, . . .
then
the 2 triangles are
CONGRUENT!
HL (Hypotenuse, Leg)
If both hypotenuses and a
pair of legs of two RIGHT
triangles are congruent, . . .

then
the 2 triangles are

Summary:
ASA - Pairs of congruent sides contained
between two congruent angles
AAS – Pairs of congruent angles and
the side not contained between them.
SAS - Pairs of congruent angles
contained between two congruent sides
SSS - Three pairs of congruent sides
Summary --for Right Triangles Only:
HL – Pair of sides including the
Hypotenuse and one Leg
