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.
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.

You can use a variety of postulates or theorems, among others: SSS (Side-Side-Side) ASA (Angle-Side-Angle - any two corresponding sides* and a corresponding angle) SAS (Side-Angle-Side - the angle MUST be between the two sides, except:) RHS (Right angle-Hypotenuse-Side - this is only ASS which works) * if two corresponding angles are the same, then the third corresponding angle must also be the same (as the angles of a triangle always sum to 180°), and that can be substituted for one angle of ASA to get AAS or SAA.
ya , so i actually wanted the answer myself but i think it is because congruent triangle will give it a balance and support
