Solution

Why can the Vertical Angle Theorem NEVER be used to prove two triangles are congruent?

The Vertical angle theorem states that vertical angles are always congruent.

We can't use this to proof congruence between two triangles because this theorem not provide enough evidence to obtain the SSS, ASA, SAS, AAS, HHL. For this reason is not appropiate to use it for this case.
