Which explains why AAA is not enough to prove two triangles congruent?
Two triangles with three congruent angles may have different side lengths.
How you can prove that two triangles are congruent?
In order for 2 triangles to be congruent, it must be true that each pair of corresponding sides are congruent (equal in length) and each pair of corresponding angles are congruent (equal in size). It is not necessary to prove that all three pairs of sides and all three pairs of angles are congruent. If you prove that all the sides are congruent, then the angles must be congruent, too. This is known as SSS, the side-side-side method of proving congruency. There a four basic ways to prove congruency. They are: 1. SSS (side-side-side) Prove that all three pairs of sides are equal in length. 2. SAS (side-angle-side) Prove that two sides and the angle between them are equal. 3. ASA (angle-side-angle) Prove that two angles and the side between them are equal. 4. AAS (angle-angle-side) Prove that two angles and a side that is NOT between them are equal. Note that you cannot prove that triangles are congruent with AAA or SSA. Note: for right triangles we can use HL. This is a special method that just looks at the hypotenuse and the leg of one triangle and compares it to the hypotenuse of the other. However, if they are both right triangle, the angle between the hypotenuse and the leg is a right angle so this is really just a special case of AAS that we can only use for right triangles.

Two triangles with three congruent angles may have different side lengths.
What is angle angle angle in gemotry?
AAA, or angle angle angle, is a postulate used to prove the similarities of two triangles. If there exists a correspondence between the vertices of two triangles such that the three angles of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles of the other triangle, then the triangles are similar. (AAA)
Is angle angle angle a way to show that triangles are similar?
Yes, AAA is a way to show that triangles are similar. Note, however, that AAA is not a way to show that triangles are congruent.
Are two scalene triangles with congruent angles similar?
When all of their corresponding angles are congruent (in any triangle, in fact) then the triangles are similar. Similarity postulate AAA. (angle-angle-angle)
What is AAA in math?
In geometry when comparing two triangles, if all three angles of each triangle are congruent to corresponding angles in the other triangle, then both triangles are similar.

Why corresponding parts AAA triplet does not prove congruency?
Because triangles add up to 180 degrees
Which cannot be used as a reason in a proof?
AAA (angle angle angle) cannot be used as a reason in a proof when proving triangles congruent .
Is it true that AAA angle-angle-angle does not guarantee congruence between two triangles?
The answer is no. When two triangles are congruent all three corresponding sides are the same and all three corresponding angles are the same. Two triangles with the same corresponding angles can have corresponding sides different so they are not congruent.
What is the meaning of AAA Similarity Theorem?
If three angles of one triangle are congruent to three angles of another triangle then by the AAA similarity theorem, the two triangles are similar. Actually, you need only two angles of one triangle being congruent to two angle of the second triangle.
How you can prove that the angles of two triangles are equal?
If the angles of two triangles are equal the triangles are similar. AAA If you have three angles on both triangles these must be equal for the triangles to be similar. SAS If you have an angle between two sides and the length of the sides and the angle are the same on both triangles, then the triangles are similar. And SSS If you know the three sides
What is the AAA theorem and the SSS postulate?
There is no AAA theorem since it is not true. SSS is, in fact a theorem, not a postulate. It states that if the three sides of one triangle are equal in magnitude to the corresponding three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
