    This document discusses different postulates for proving that two triangles are congruent, including: 1. Side-Side-Side (SSS), Side-Angle-Side (SAS), Angle-Side-Angle (ASA), and Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) postulates. These postulates state that if three corresponding parts (sides or angles) are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. 2. There is no Side-Side-Angle (SSA) or Angle-Angle-Angle (AAA) postulate, as two triangles cannot be proven congruent using only those parts. 3. To name a postulate, identify if the information given matches the parts (sides

    How much do you
    need to know. . .

    . . . about two triangles

    to prove that they


    are congruent?
    Corresponding Parts
    In Lesson 4.2, you learned that if all
    six pairs of corresponding parts (sides
    and angles) are congruent, then the
    triangles are congruent.
