Because if you take a triangle and double the length of each side, you get a much bigger triangle which is therefore not congruent (they do not match in every respect, even though the angles are replicated). In this case they are called "similar".

Why cant you have SSA be a proof of triangle congruence?

SSA (Side-Side-Angle) cannot be a proof of triangle congruence because it does not guarantee that the two triangles formed are congruent. The angle can be positioned in such a way that two different triangles can have the same two sides and the same angle, leading to the ambiguous case known as the "SSA ambiguity." This means two distinct triangles could satisfy the SSA condition, thus failing to prove congruence. Therefore, other criteria like SSS, SAS, or ASA must be used for triangle congruence.
