Answer:

The error made is that the ASA theorem cannot be used here because the congruent side is not directly in between the two congruent angles in either triangle. Really, the information we are given is Angle-Side-Side, not Angle-Side-Angle, and this is not a congruence theorem unless the triangles given are right triangles.
