4.1 Recognizing Triangle Congruence HW

State the postulate or theorem you can use to prove the triangles congruent, then write a congruence
statement. If the triangles cannot be proven congruent, write not possible. SSS is Side-Side-Side (all
three pairs of sides are congruent), SAS is Side-Angle-Side (2 pairs of sides and their included angles
are congruent), ASA is Angle-Side-Angle (2 pairs of angles and their included sides are congruent), AAS
is Angle-Angle Side (2 pairs of angles and their non-included sides are congruent), and HL is
Hypotenuse-Leg (the pairs of hypotenuse and at least one pair of legs are congruent).
