SSS Side-Side-Side Postulate
SSS If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. H Q G P F R GHF PQR
SAS Side-Angle-Side Postulate
SAS If two sides and included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and included angleof another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. B D C F A E BCA FDE
ASA Angle-Side-Angle Postulate
ASA If two angles and included side of one triangle are congruent to two sides and included angleof another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. B P G K H N HGB NKP
AAS Angle-Angle-Side Postulate
AAS If two angles and nonincluded side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and nonincluded side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. pg. 195 C T D G M X CDM TGX
