How to prove Congruent Triangles?

There are different types of Congruency Postulates such as:

SAS Congruency Postulate

ASA Congruency Postulate

SSS Congruency Postulate

AAS Congruency Postulate

HL Congruency Postulate

The two column proof to show that GC and GB are congruent is:

Statement 1: A.F ≅ DE

Reason 1: Given

Statement 2: ∠A.FC ≅ ∠DEB

Reason 2: Given

Statement 3: ∠FAC ≅ EDB
