If given two segments and an angle in between the given segments, can you determine a unique triangle?
Why or why not?
Discuss the relationship between the points. If you were given the same angle and the same length sides and asked to put them together in the same way, would you get the same triangle back? Why or why not?
Let's say that we will call the orientation above as "SAS". What if the sides and the angle were oriented as SSA, so that the angle was not between the two sides? Would we be able to determine a triangle?
