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.
What does CPCTC mean in math terms?
CPCTC is an acronym for the phrase 'corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent' It means that once we know that two triangles are congruent, we know that all corresponding sides and angles are congruent.
If two triangles have a congruent angle and two congruent sides then are the triangles guaranteed to be congruent?
Only if the congruent angle is the angle between the two congruent sides (SAS postulate).

'corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent'
Is it true that two triangles have 3 pairs of congruent angles then the triangle are not guaranteed to be congruent?
When two triangles are congruent, there are 6 facts that are true about the triangles. The triangles have 3 sets of congruent (of equal length) sides and the triangles have 3 sets of congruent (of equal measure) angles.
