GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 1 and 2
Therefore are congruent because vertical angles are congruent so two pairs of angles and a pair of non included side are congruent. The triangle are congruent by AAS Congruence Theorem.

EXAMPLE 4 Standardized Test Practice
The locations of tower A, tower B, and the fire form a triangle. The dispatcher knows the distance from tower A to tower B and the measures of A and B. So, the measures of two angles and an included side of the triangle are known.
By the ASA Congruence Postulate, all triangles with these measures are congruent. So, the triangle formed is unique and the fire location is given by the third vertex. Two lookouts are needed to locate the fire.

GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 3 and 4
4. What If? In Example 4, suppose a fire occurs directly between tower B and tower C. Could towers B and C be used to locate the fire? Explain
SOLUTION
Proved by ASA congruence
The locations of tower B, tower C, and the fire form a triangle. The dispatcher knows the distance from tower B to tower C and the measures of B and C. So, he knows the measures of two angles and an included side of the triangle.
![Page 12: Other methods of Proving Triangles Congruent (AAS), (HL) 4-5.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649f1e5503460f94c3504d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
By the ASA Congruence Postulate, all triangles with these measures are congruent. No triangle is formed by the location of the fire and tower, so the fire could be anywhere between tower B and C.
