The cosine rule which is: a2 = b2+c2-2*b*c*cosine A
This is used to find the third side of a triangle when the two other sides are known along with the angle between them.
Used when the triangle is not a right angle.

This is the 'Proof' for congruent triangles.
NB There are other 'proofs' too!!!
They are
SSS = Side, Side, Side
ASA = Angle, side, angle.
but NOT 'AAA'
The 'included side' is the side between the two given angles. The 'included angle' is the angle between the two given sides.
Side-Angle-Side is a rule used in geometry to prove triangles congruent. The rule states that if two sides and the included angle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of a second triangle, the two triangles are congruent. An included angle is an angle created by two sides of a triangle.
4 sides and 1 diagonal is given. 3 sides and 2 diagonals are given. 3 angles and measurement of two adjacent angles are given. 3 sides and 2 included angles are given. 4 sides and 1 angle is given.
Any two adjacent sides on a polygon will form an included angle.
The first is two angles and the included side whereas the second is two sides and the included angle!
