ASA is not a triangle, it is a method of proving that two triangles are congruent.
ASA refers to showing that if two angles and a side (Angle-Side-Angle) of one triangle are the same measures as the corresponding angles and side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
Since the three angles sum to 180 degrees, if two of them in one triangle are equal to the corresponding angles in the second triangle, then the third set of angles must also be equal. Consequently, ASA is equivalent to AAS and SAA.
That is NOT The case with two sides and an angle, where it must be the included angle that is equal.

Which postulate or theorem can you use to prove that triangle ABC triangle EDC?
ASA
Is a ASA triangle similarity postulate?
Since ASA is a congruence postulate and congruence implies similarity, then the answer is : yes.
How does the ASA congruence theorem differ form the AAS congruence theorem?
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.
Are the two right triangles TRS and WUV congruent If so name the congruence postulate that applies?
To be congruent, the three angles of a triangle must be the same and the three sides must be the same. If triangles TRS and WUV meet those conditions, they are congruent.
What additional information is necessary to prove triangle and and triangle CNN congruent by the HL theorem?
You need SAS (side angle side), SSS (side side side), ASA (angle side angle), AAS (angle angle side) or CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent angles are congruent)
