SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, RHS. SSA can prove congruence if the angle in question is obtuse (if it's 90 degrees, then it's exactly equivalent to RHS).

What are the 5 Congruency Theorems for triangles?

The five congruency theorems for triangles are: Side-Side-Side (SSS) Theorem: If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent. Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Theorem: If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent. Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Theorem: If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent. Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) Theorem: If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent. Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Theorem: In right triangles, if the hypotenuse and one leg of one triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.


Is SAS a right triangle congruency ONLY?

SAS (Side-Angle-Side) is a geometric term that describes if two triangles are congruent - whether it is a right triangle or not.

What are the 2 triangle congruence theorems?

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.
