Reflexive Property of Congruence • A segment is congruent to itself. • An angle is congruent to itself.
Side-Side-Side (SSS) Postulate 8-1: If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Postulate 8-2: If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
