Prove Proposition 3.22(SSS Criterion for Congruence). Given triangle ABC and triangle DEF. If AB is congruent to DE, BC is congruent to EF, and AC is congruent to DF, then triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF.

(Hint:Use three congruence axioms to reduce to the case where A=D, C=F, and points B and E are on opposite sides of line AC.)
