How does information about parallel sides help?
You will need another pair of congruent angles to use AAS. Think back to what you learned in Chapter 3.

Yes. If
The diagram shows that two pairs of angles and one pair of sides are congruent. The third pair of angles are congruent by the Third Angles Theorem. To prove these triangles congruent, you need to satisfy ASA or AAS.
ASA and AAS both fail because
