You can put this solution on YOUR website!
that would be congruence by SSA which would not be true, hence false.

spell SSA backwards and you get .....

that's one way to remember.

here's an example of why it doesn't work.

you could have an acute triangle and an obtuse triangle, both of which have 2 corresponding congruent sides and a congruent angle that is not included between the sides, while the other angles could be totally different.
