Answer:

FALSE look at explanation or you might get this wrong....

Explanation:

AAA (angle-angle-angle) DOES NOT guarantee congruence between two triangles. This is because the angle makes the same shape but not the same size. If the question asks AAA (angle-angle-angle) does not guarantee congruence between two triangles then this would be TRUE. Remember to look at the difference in the question.

That's false.

AAA only proves the two triangle similar.

You can have one triangle, shrink it, and yet it'll still have the same angle measurements.

The smaller triangle will not be congruent to the original triangle, but they will have congruent angles.

Thus, AAA does not prove triangles congruent but only similar.

Have an awesome day! :)
