Part 1

Choose the correct answer below.

A.

​No, AAA is not sufficient for congruence. It is not possible to say two triangles are congruent without knowing the three pairs of corresponding sides are congruent.

B.

​Yes, AAA is sufficient for congruence. If corresponding angles are​ congruent, then corresponding sides must also be congruent. This means that AAA is equivalent to SSS.

C.

​No, AAA is not sufficient for congruence. One triangle might be larger than the other.

D.

​Yes, AAA is sufficient for congruence. If two triangles are​ congruent, then their corresponding angles must be congruent. This means that if corresponding angles are​ congruent, then the triangles must be congruent.
