Congruent triangles have three congruent sides and and three congruent angles.
However, triangles can be proved congruent without showing 3 pairs of congruent sides and angles.

Theorem
If two angles in one triangle are congruent to two angles in another triangle, the third angles must also be congruent.
Think about it… they have to add up to 180°.

A closer look...A closer look...
If two triangles have two pairs of angles congruent, then their third pair of angles is congruent.
But do the two triangles have to be congruent?

Why aren’t these triangles congruent?
What do we call these triangles?

So, how do we prove that two triangles really are congruent?
