Suppose you have two triangles, ABC and DEF and want to determine if they are congruent. The Side Angle Side theorem (known as SAS) says that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two sides and included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. So if side AB is length 5 and AC is length 6 with angle A of 50 degrees, and side DE is also 5 and DF is 6 with angle D of 50 degrees, the triangles are congruent by the SAS theorem.
