If two angles and
the included side
of one triangle are
congruent to two
angles and the
included side of
another triangle,
then two triangles
are congruent.
AAS Theorem
If two angles and the
non-included side of one
triangle are congruent,
respectively, to the
corresponding angles
and non-included side of
another triangle, then
the two triangles are
congruent.
