http://prntscr.com/c9ed65 You get the idea. Both triangles are similar in that side by respective side equals to the same fraction of every side by their respective sides. Also, the two triangles share the same angle.

So, since their sides are all similar, you can use SSS which is basically side-side-side. Basically, you're correct. Good job. :)
