    Hello Dev

    Assume two triangles, 

    Here ∠A = ∠P, ∠B = ∠ Q & AB = PQ

    So, by ASA Congruency, △ABC ≅ △PQR

     

    But, if ∠A = ∠P, ∠B = ∠ Q,

    then ∠C = ∠R as well ... because

     

    In △ABC,

    by angle sum property

    ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180

    As ∠A = ∠P, ∠B = ∠ Q,

    ∠P + ∠Q + ∠C = 180

    ∠C = 180 - ∠P - ∠Q

     

    Also,

    In △PQR,

    by angle sum property

    ∠P + ∠Q + ∠R = 180

    ∠R = 180 - ∠P - ∠Q

     

    So, ∠ C =  ∠ R

     

    So, we ca say that

    Here ∠C = ∠R, ∠B = ∠ Q & AB = PQ

    So, by ASA Congruency, △ABC ≅ △PQR
