Similar: If two pairs of corresponding angles in a pair of triangles are congruent, then the triangles are similar. We know this because if two angle pairs are the same, then the third pair must also be equal. When the three angle pairs are all equal, the three pairs of sides must also be in proportion.

Congruent: SAS stands for "side, angle, side" and means that we have two triangles where we know two sides and the included angle are equal. If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding sides and angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
