What does the Side Angle Side theorem state?

If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

If two angles and a nonincluded side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles and nonincluded side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. (correct)

Triangle Congruence Theorems

Side Angle Side (SAS) Theorem: If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Side Side Side (SSS) Theorem: If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, the two triangles are congruent.
Angle Side Angle (ASA) Theorem: If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Angle Angle Side (AAS) Theorem: If two angles and a nonincluded side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles and nonincluded side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. Example: Angle B is congruent to Angle D, Angle BCA is congruent to Angle DCA, and side AC is congruent to side AC, leading to triangle ABC being congruent to triangle ADC.
Hypotenuse Leg (HL) Theorem: Specifically for right triangles, if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
