they give you three facts. how many of these facts are about sides and how many are about angles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Only one mentions only sides, the rest mention angles as well @Austin6i6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so two angles and one side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the triangles are congruent by ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the side between the angles you know? Or is it outside of the two angles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Outside I believe, that was where I was tripping up. So AAS? ASA is what was making me think twice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ASA would mean that the side is between the angles, like this:|dw:1427917799433:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ooooor no It goes B, BC, A. So A S A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ooops, I drew SAS.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ASA would looks like: |dw:1427917904373:dw|
