A single triangle is never congruent. "Congruent" only arises out of a comparison

with something else.

In order to be congruent to another triangle, a triangle needs one of the following:

-- two of its sides and the included angle equal respectively to two sides and

the included angle of the other one;

-- two of its angles and the included side equal respectively to two angles and

the included side of the other one;

-- all three of its sides equal respectively to all three sides of the other one.

What defines a congruent triangle?

All corresponding sides and all interior angles are congruent. But in order to have a congruent triangle, we need two or more triangles that fit these requirements.


What else would be need to be congruent to show that triangle JKL congruent MNO by AAS?

To show that triangle JKL is congruent to triangle MNO by the Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) theorem, you need to establish that two angles and the non-included side of triangle JKL are congruent to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of triangle MNO. Specifically, you would need to verify that one of the angles in triangle JKL is congruent to one of the angles in triangle MNO, and that the side opposite the angle in triangle JKL is congruent to the corresponding side in triangle MNO. This would complete the necessary conditions for AAS congruence.


What else would need to be congruent to show that abc is congruent to xyz by aas?

To show that triangle ABC is congruent to triangle XYZ by the Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) criterion, you would need to establish that one pair of corresponding sides is congruent. Specifically, you need to demonstrate that one side of triangle ABC is congruent to the corresponding side of triangle XYZ, in addition to having two angles in triangle ABC congruent to two angles in triangle XYZ. This combination of two angles and the included side would satisfy the AAS condition for congruence.


What else would need to be congruent to show that triangle abc congruent to xyz by asa?

To show that triangle ABC is congruent to triangle XYZ by the ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) criterion, we need to establish that two angles in triangle ABC are congruent to two angles in triangle XYZ, along with the side that is included between those angles being congruent. Specifically, if we have ∠A ≅ ∠X, ∠B ≅ ∠Y, and side AB ≅ XY, then the triangles can be concluded as congruent by ASA. Thus, we would need to confirm the congruence of these angles and the included side.
