Answer:
No, AAA is not a valid criterion for congruency of triangles, as the angles can be same but the size of the traingle would be bigger.

Answer:
No its not
Step-by-step explanation:
By counter-example.
Triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle, all angles are 60 degrees, each side is 2 units long. Triangle DEF is an equilateral triangle, all angles are 60 degrees, each side is 1 unit long.
All three sets of corresponding angles are equal, 60 = 60, 60 = 60, and 60 = 60.
But none of the corresponding sides are equal 2 is not equal to 1.
So the triangles are not congruent, despite all three pairs of corresponding angles being congruent(AAA)
