+Any triangle is defined by six measures (three sides, three angles). Triangles are congruent if:<br>
+# All three corresponding sides are equal in length. SSS (side side side) congruency postulate
+# A pair of corresponding sides and the included angle are equal. -- SAS (side angle side) congruency postulate.
+# A pair of corresponding angles and the included side are equal. -- ASA (angle side angle) congruency postulate.
+# A pair of corresponding angles and a non-included side are equal.-- AAS (angle angle side) congruency postulate.
+# HL (hypotenuse leg of a right triangle) :Two right triangles are congruent if the hypotenuse and one leg are equal.Also known as RHS postulate.
