Congruent Triangles:
AAS - angle, angle and side
SSS - three sides of one triangle equal to another tri
SAS - two sides and included angle equal to another tri
RHS - right angle, hypotenuse and side equal

Similar Triangles:
Equiangular - three angles are equal
SSS similarity - three sides are in proportion
SAS similarity - angle the same and sides bout that angle are in proportion
