Is this angle side angle, angle angle side, or not congruent.

We have 2 pairs of congruent angles, so we can prove the triangles are similar triangles (using the AA similarity theorem). But we don't have enough information to prove them to be congruent. We would need at least one pair of sides to be congruent so we could use either AAS or ASA.

For instance, if we knew that AT = AP, then we would use AAS. If we knew that HT = MP, then we would use ASA instead. However, we don't have either bit of information like this. The triangles may or may not be congruent. We simply don't have enough information to say either way. We can't definitively say they are congruent, so we just lean toward "not congruent".

practice. practice. practice.
