Here guys Thanks :D Congruent triangles are similar figures with a ratio of similarity of 1, that is 1 1 . One way to prove triangles congruent is to prove they are similar first, and then prove that the ratio of similarity is 1. In these sections of the text the students find short cuts that enable them to prove triangles congruent in fewer steps, by developing five triangle congruence conjectures. They are SSS! , ASA! , AAS! , SAS! , and HL ! , illustrated below.
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.
reflexive property of congruence
You can prove that to triangles are congruent with SSS, then use CPCTC to prove that two corresponding angles of those triangles are congruent.

You left out one very important detail . . . the statement is true for a RIGHT triangle.
sssThere are five methods for proving the congruence of triangles. In SSS, you prove that all three sides of two triangles are congruent to each other. In SAS, if two sides of the triangles and the angle between them are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. In ASA, if two angles of the triangles and the side between them are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. In AAS, if two angles and one of the non-included sides of two triangles are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. In HL, which only applies to right triangles, if the hypotenuse and one leg of the two triangles are congruent, then the triangles are congruent.
If I understand the question correctly, the answer is yes. Thanks to the transitive property of congruence.
To prove triangles are congruent by the Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) theorem, you need to establish that both triangles have a right angle, and that the hypotenuse and one leg of one triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of the other triangle, respectively. An additional congruence statement that could be used is that the lengths of the hypotenuses of both triangles are equal, along with confirming that one leg in each triangle is also equal in length. This information is sufficient to apply the HL theorem for congruence.
To prove triangles congruent using the SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Congruence Postulate, you need to know the lengths of two sides of one triangle and the included angle between those sides, as well as the corresponding lengths of the two sides and the included angle of the other triangle. Specifically, you would need to confirm that the two pairs of sides are equal in length and that the angle between those sides in both triangles is congruent. With this information, you can establish the congruence of the triangles.

true
You could prove two triangles are congruent by measuring each side of both triangles, and all three angles of each triangle. If the lengths of the sides are the same, and so are the angles, then the triangles are congruent... if not, then the triangles are not congruent. If the triangles have the exact same size and shape then they are congruent.
