4.8 ASA and AAS Triangle Congruence


Here you’ll learn how to prove that two triangles are congruent given only information about two pairs of angles and
a pair of sides.


What if your parents changed their minds at the last second about their kitchen layout? Now, they have decided they
to have the distance between the sink and the fridge be 3 ft, the angle at the sink 71◦and the angle at the fridge is
50 ◦. You used your protractor to measure the angle at the stove and sink at your neighbor’s house. Are the kitchen
triangles congruent now? After completing this Concept, you’ll be able to use a congruence shortcut to help you
answer this question.
