2. Congruence (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_(geometry)

   AAS (angle-angle-side): If two pairs of angles of two triangles are equal in measurement, and a pair of corresponding non-included sides are equal in length, then the triangles are congruent. AAS is equivalent to an ASA condition, by the fact that if any two angles are given, so is the third angle, since their sum should be 180°.

3. Corresponding sides and corresponding angles - Wikipedia

   The orange and green quadrilaterals are congruent; the blue one is not congruent to them. Congruence between the orange and green ones is established in that side BC corresponds to (in this case of congruence, equals in length) JK, CD corresponds to KL, DA corresponds to LI, and AB corresponds to IJ, while angle ∠C corresponds to (equals) angle ∠K, ∠D corresponds to ∠L, ∠A ...

4. Similarity (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similarity_(geometry)

   It can be shown that two triangles having congruent angles (equiangular triangles) are similar, that is, the corresponding sides can be proved to be proportional. This is known as the AAA similarity theorem. [2] Note that the "AAA" is a mnemonic: each one of the three A's refers to an "angle".

5. Hilbert's axioms - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_axioms

   If A, B are two points on a line a, and if A′ is a point upon the same or another line a′, then, upon a given side of A′ on the straight line a′, we can always find a point B′ so that the segment AB is congruent to the segment A′B′.

6. AA postulate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AA_postulate

   In Euclidean geometry, the AA postulate states that two triangles are similar if they have two corresponding angles congruent. The AA postulate follows from the fact that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always equal to 180°. By knowing two angles, such as 32° and 64° degrees, we know that the next angle is 84°, because 180 ...

7. Hinge theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinge_theorem

   In geometry, the hinge theorem (sometimes called the open mouth theorem) states that if two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the included angle of the first is larger than the included angle of the second, then the third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of the second triangle.
