You can't use AAA to prove two triangles congruent because triangles can have the same measures of all its angles but be bigger or smaller, AAA could probably be used to prove two triangles are similar not congruent.
The basic proportionality theorem is an important tool for proving similarity tests such as SAS. It is used in comparison of similar triangles and finding their measurements.
Excuse me, but two triangles that have A-A-S of one equal respectively to A-A-S of the other are not necessarily congruent. I would love to see that proof!
Yes. Make one triangle using hree matches. Underneath the two vertices at the base of this triangle, make another two triangles, using six more matches. You will find that there is an inverted triangle in the middle - the fourth.

SSS is a postulate used in proving that two triangles are congruent. It is also known as the "Side-Side-Side" Triangle Congruence Postulate. It states that if all 3 sides of a triangle are congruent to another triangles 3 sides, then both triangles are congruent.
AAA (angle angle angle) cannot be used as a reason in a proof when proving triangles congruent .
Before using Corresponding Parts of a Congruent Triangle are Congruent theorem (CPCTC) in a geometric proof, you must first prove that there is a congruent triangles. This method can be used for proving polygons and geometrical triangles.

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.

SSA
Mostly congruent triangles are used for construction of things like bridges and buildings because they are considered more stable and strong to use (i hope that helps i had to learn this for a project)
Pythagorean theorem
ya , so i actually wanted the answer myself but i think it is because congruent triangle will give it a balance and support
All three of those CAN .
It is an acronym for the postulate "Side Angle Side". This is used to determine a triangle's congruency to other triangles. SAS is grouped often with SSS, AAS, and ASA (all "A"s are angle, all "S"s are side.)
