Does proving aas require any specific set of angles and sides? or is it any two pairs of corresponding angles and one pair of corresponding sides?

It requires any two angles to be proven to be equal (which in itself proves that all 3 angles are equal) and any one pair of corresponding sides.

Thanks, I was confused, as some websites say two corresponding angles and one non included side, and some say two corresponding angles, and an included side.

WAIT! ASA also exists, no wonder i got them confused. Most textbooks don't even mention this but I guess I can't call it AAS if the side is included within the angles. Woah.. OP

To me, AAS means "two angles, and a side".

ASA is just a special case, so why learn two cases? The other is more general.

You're right, but apparently there are slight differences in both. Mind = blown
