PLEASE HELP: Why does the AA similarity Theorem only need to identify the measurement of 2 congruent angles? Why is it not necessary to find the measurement of the third angle and show that it is also congruent to the corresponding third angle of a similar triangle?

According to the third angle theorem states if two angles are congruent to two angles in another triangle, the third angles are congruent too. Because a triangle has 180 degrees the third angle in any triangle is 180 degrees minus the other two angle measures
