SSS Congruence

Theorem: If all the three pairs of sides of two triangles are equal in length, then the triangles are congruent.

Prerequisites:
Unique SSS triangle (proof)

Proof:

Let there be two triangles \triangle ABC and \triangle DEF, such that the sides AB = DE = l_1, BC = EF = l_2, and CA = FD = l_3.

Since for the given three side lengths a unique triangle can be formed (see prerequisite), hence both the triangles are congruent.

Q.E.D.
