Below, we have two triangles. All we know here is 2 angles and their included side of one triangle are congruent to 2 angles and their included side of another triangle.

Test to see if these two triangles are congruent by trying to place one on top of the other. Note: LARGE POINTS and some segments are moveable. The slider (lower left) controls the included angle measure.
