To use SAS to prove two triangles are congruent, we need to show that they have two congruent sides and one congruent angle.

To use SAS to prove two triangles are congruent, we need to show that they have two congruent sides and one congruent angle. In the diagram you sent, we can see that the following segments are congruent:


$\overline{AB} \cong \overline{CD}$


$\overline{BC} \cong \overline{DE}$


$\overline{CA} \cong \overline{EF}$

We can also see that the following angles are congruent:


$\angle A \cong \angle C$


$\angle B \cong \angle D$


$\angle C \cong \angle E$

Therefore, we can use SAS to prove that
$\triangle ABC \cong \triangle CDE$.

The congruent parts below are:


$\overline{AB} \cong \overline{CD}$


$\overline{BC} \cong \overline{DE}$


$\overline{CA} \cong \overline{EF}$


$\angle A \cong \angle C$


$\angle B \cong \angle D$


$\angle C \cong \angle E$
