Answer:

The answer is: Yes, both postulates can be used to prove that the triangles are congruent.

Explanation:

ASA: Corresponding congruent parts: Two angles and the side between them. Does it show congruence ?: Yes.

AAS: Corresponding congruent parts: Two angles and one side that is not between them. Does it show congruence ?: Yes.

The answer is: Yes, both postulates can be used to prove that the triangles are congruent.
