CONGRUENCE POSTULATES
(SSS) Side - Side - Side PostulateIf the sides of one triangle are congruent to the sides of a second triangle, then the triangles are congruent.SSS EXAMPLES

(SAS) Side - Included Angle - Side PostulateIf two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. The included angle is the one that is between the two known sides.
