Logic
mastery makes the hard, easier. Logic
mastery leads to better, stronger and richer comprehension. Logic
mastery improves reading and writing. Logic

mastery gives a headstart. In sum, logic
mastery will develops critical thinking, improve reading and writing,
and give a firmer base for work and studies at many levels. Good luck.
After logic,
(a) continue reading Three

Success and Failure of the
Angle-Side-Angle Method
The ASA method works when the sum of the given angles is less than two right
angles (180 degrees).

rays from endpoints base will intersect
|
Increasing one of the base angles moves the point of intersection away from
the base

when
and rays
will intersect at a point that provides the third vertex of a triangle. Here the
point of intersection, the third vertex, increases in distance from the base as
increases.
Let us look at the external angle 

When do rays defined converge?
Case 1. External angle greater than corresponding angle
That is
'
Here the rays converge to a intersection point. The point provides the
third vertex of a triangle.
Another Case 1 example: 

Case 2. External angle less than corresponding angle,
that is 

Here or
equivalently . In
the figure, the rays diverge on angle side of base. So a triangle is not formed with
given base angles internal to that triangle. However, replacement of rays by
lines through them leads to rays on the opposite (or other) side of base that
converge to a point of intersection - the sum of angles on the other side
is less tha 180 degrees.
Case 3. External angle equals corresponding angle

Here the rays appear not to converge nor diverge. The sum of the
internal base angles is two right angles (or 180 degrees) since

The empirical failure of the Angle Side Angle triangle construction
when alternate angles are equal suggests the parallel postulate, namely that if the sum of internal angles on
the same side of a line segment transversal to two other lines, those other
lines extended indefinitely will not intersect.
