ASA or Angle Side Angle differs from the AAS in that the order of the sides or angles are stated is the same as they are labeled on a triangle. Just because the letters are shifted doesn't make them different. There are three angles on a triangle and there are only two stated so the two stated cannot be assigned to angles with a side in between them for AAS, or a side at either side for ASA.
It is a special case of ASA congruence.
The correct answer is the AAS theorem
The correct answer is the AAS theorem
The two triangle congruence theorems are the AAS(Angle-Angle-Side) and HL(Hypotenuse-Leg) congruence theorems. The AAS congruence theorem states that if two angles and a nonincluded side in one triangle are congruent to two angles and a nonincluded side in another triangle, the two triangles are congruent. In the HL congruence theorem, if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, the two triangles are congruent.
It is a theorem, not a postulate, since it is possible to prove it. If two angles and a side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles and side of another triangle then the two triangles are congruent.

Excuse me, but two triangles that have A-A-S of one equal respectively to A-A-S of the other are not necessarily congruent. I would love to see that proof!
the congruence theorems or postulates are: SAS AAS SSS ASA
AAS Theorem [APEX]
It is a theorem, not a postulate, since it is possible to prove it. If two angles and a side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles and side of another triangle then the two triangles are congruent.
The first thing you prove about congruent triangles are triangles that have same side lines (SSS) is congruent. (some people DEFINE congruent that way). You just need to show AAS is equivalent or implies SSS and you are done. That's the first theorem I thought of, don't know if it works though, not a geometry major.

AAS: If Two angles and a side opposite to one of these sides is congruent to thecorresponding angles and corresponding side, then the triangles are congruent.How Do I know? Taking Geometry right now. :)
