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.

How does sas theorem answer?
The SAS theorem is used to prove that two triangles are congruent. If the triangles have a side-angle-side that are congruent (it must be in that order), then the two triangles can be proved congruent. Using this theorem can in the future help prove corresponding parts are congruent among other things.
Is it possible to prove one pair of triangles congruent and then use their congruent corresponding parts to prove another pair congruent?
If I understand the question correctly, the answer is yes. Thanks to the transitive property of congruence.
What does angle angle side mean?
Angle Angle Side is a method one can use to prove that two triangles are congruent. Basically, if any two pairs of angles and the side between these angles are congruent, then the triangles are congruent as well.
How can you tell both shapes are similar?
to prove two triangles are similar, get 2 angles congruent
How do you Prove triangle ACD is congruent to triangle BDC?
Because Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles, there are five ways to prove that two triangles are congruent. Show that all sides are congruent. (SSS) Show that two sides and their common angle are congruent. (SAS) Show that two angles and their common side are congruent. (ASA) Show that two angles and one of the non common sides are congruent. (AAS) Show that the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent. (HL)
