THE SIDE-SIDE-SIDE (SSS) CONGRUENCE STATES THAT IF THE THREE SIDES OF ONE TRIANGLE HAVE THE SAME LENGTHS AS THE THREE SIDES OF ANOTHER TRIANGLE, THEN THE TWO TRIANGLES ARE CONGRUENT.
Side-angle-side (SAS) congruence states that if any two sides of a triangle are equal in length to two sides of another triangle and the angles bewteen each pair of sides have the same measure, then the two triangles are congruent; that is, they have exactly the same shape and size.
When three or more lines meet at a single point, they are said to be concurrent. In a triangle, the three medians, three perpendicular bisectors, three angle bisectors, and three altitudes are each concurrent.
The centroid of a triangle is the point where the three medians meet. This point is the center of mass for the triangle. If you cut a triangle out of a piece of paper and put your pencil point at the centroid, you could balance the triangle.
Altitude of a Triangle is the perpendicular distance from any of its vertices to the opposite side. (This opposite side of the vertex is called the base of the altitude.)
