What is the Side-Angle-Side Postulate for Triangle Congruence?
Note:
The Side-Angle-Side postulate is just one of many postulates you can use to show two triangles are congruent. This tutorial introduces you to the SAS postulate and shows you how to use it!

Background Tutorials
Determine the coordinates of a point that is a given fractional distance less than one from one end of a line segment to the other in one- and two-dimensional coordinate systems, including finding the midpoint
If two figures have the same size and shape, then they are congruent. The term congruent is often used to describe figures like this. In this tutorial, take a look at the term congruent!
Further Exploration
Investigate patterns to make conjectures about geometric relationships, including angles formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal, criteria required for triangle congruence, special segments of triangles, diagonals of quadrilaterals, interior and exterior angles of polygons, and special segments and angles of circles choosing from a variety of tools
There are many ways to show that two triangles are congruent. This tutorial shows you how to use a triangle congruence postulate to show that two triangles on the coordinate plane are congruent to each other!
Prove two triangles are congruent by applying the side-angle-side, angle-side-angle, side-side-side, angle-angle-side, and hypotenuse-leg congruence conditions
What is the Angle-Side-Angle postulate? This postulate is just one of many postulates you can use to prove two triangles are congruent! This tutorial explains the ASA postulate.
