The congruence theorems side-angle-side (SAS) and side-side-side (SSS) also hold on a sphere; in addition, if two spherical triangles have an identical angle-angle-angle (AAA) sequence, they are congruent (unlike for plane triangles). [9] The plane-triangle congruence theorem angle-angle-side (AAS) does not hold for spherical triangles. [10]
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. [1]
The classical equivalence between Playfair's axiom and Euclid's fifth postulate collapses in the absence of triangle congruence. [18] This is shown by constructing a geometry that redefines angles in a way that respects Hilbert's axioms of incidence, order, and congruence, except for the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) congruence.

Congruence [ edit ] 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 ′.

In geometry, the segment addition postulate states that given 2 points A and C, a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation AB + BC = AC.
Cauchy's theorem is a theorem in geometry, named after Augustin Cauchy.It states that convex polytopes in three dimensions with congruent corresponding faces must be congruent to each other.
