This text details the application of the Third Angles Theorem and the Triangle Sum Theorem to prove triangle congruence. By establishing relationships among angles and using the Reflexive Property of Congruence, the proof demonstrates that if two angles are congruent, their corresponding sides are also congruent. This is essential for understanding triangle properties and solving geometric problems, providing a systematic approach to triangle congruence.
