How to determine if Triangles are Congruent?
IRISSAK [1]

So basically what you have to do is first identify all of the sides or angles that equal eachother then you can see if you did a side side and side in a row etc, like 44 would be SAS because the vertical angles would be inbetween the two sides. 46 would be SSS because after you make the line in the middle for reflexive property you can see that there are three sides in a row. If this didnt help i recommend looking on Khan Academy
