ASA congruence criterion holds good if any two corresponding angles and the corresponding side between those angles are equal.
Let us try to construct a congruent triangle using ASA congruence criterion.
Consider \(\triangle ABC\) with the dimensions as given in the figure below.
From the figure, it is understood that \(AB = 5\) \(cm\), \(\angle{CAB} = 60^\circ\), and \(\angle{ABC} = 40^\circ\).
Our aim is to construct a congruent triangle \(\triangle DEF\) using the \(2\) angles and the length acquired from the figure.
Step \(1\): Draw a line segment \(\overline{DE}\) of length \(5\) \(cm\).
Step \(2\): With \(D\) as centre, draw an line with an angle of \(60^\circ\).
Step \(3\): With \(E\) as centre, draw a line with an angle of \(40^\circ\) such it meets the already constructed line at \(F\). Now, the congruent \(\triangle DEF\) is formed.
