In the last section we learned of three triangle congruence postulates:

Let’s look at some other possibilities.
![Page 4: Honors Geometry Section 4.3 AAS / RHL. In the last section we learned of three triangle congruence postulates : SSS SAS ASA](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022082709/56649cee5503460f949bc5a7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A counterexample demonstrates that AAA is not a valid test for congruence. Consider
two equiangular triangles. What is true about the angles in each triangle?
Are the triangles shown congruent?
They are all 60 degrees.
No

If we know the measures of two angles in a triangle, we will always be able to find the measure of the third
angle.
So, any time we have the AAS combination, we can change it into the ASA combination and the two triangles will then be congruent.

Theorem 4.3.1 AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) Congruence Theorem
If two angles and the non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another
triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Note: While ASA can be used anytime AAS can be used and vice-
versa, they are different. The congruence markings on your triangles and the steps in your
proof must agree with the congruence postulate/theorem
you use.

Example: Are the triangles congruent, and if so, why?

As discussed in the last class, SSA is not a valid test for triangle
congruence.
There is, however, a special case of SSA that is a valid test for triangle
congruence.

Theorem 4.3.2 RHL (Right-Hypotenuse-Leg) Congruence Theorem
If the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the
hypotenuse and a leg of a second right triangle, then the two triangles are
congruent.
![Page 12: Honors Geometry Section 4.3 AAS / RHL. In the last section we learned of three triangle congruence postulates : SSS SAS ASA](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022082709/56649cee5503460f949bc5a7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
NOTE: In a right triangle, the legs are the two sides that form the
right angle and the hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle.
