In school, we all learned the conditions for determining the congruence of triangles. There are usually 5 kinds of things mentioned in the textbook : SSS,SAS,AAS,ASA,HL. We notice that the above conditions are all around angles and edges, but there are other lines and points, such as Angle bisectors, heights, centers, etc. Can we use other conditions to determine the congruence of triangles? I made three proofs by myself. But there are too many of these to do it myself. If anyone has a great idea, let me know in the comments section and I'll add it to my note.
When two triangle have two equal edges and one side has an equal midian,they are congruent figures.
In the picture, AC=EG,BC=FG, AD and EH are midians on BC and FG.
∵D and H are midpoint on BC and FG, there are BC=FG. ⟹CD=GH,BD=FH.
In the △ACD and △EGH, AD=EH,AC=EG,GH=CD
∴△ACD≅△EGH(SSS)⟹∠ACB=∠EGF
In the △ABC and △EFG, AC=EG,∠ACB=∠EGF,BC=FG
∴△ABC≅△EFG(SAS)
When two triangles have two equal edges and the other side has an equal midian, they are congruent figures.
In the picture, AC=DF, BC=EF, CG and FH are midians on AB and DE
We extend CG and FH to I and J, and let CG=IJ=21CI,FH=JH=21FJ.
⟹G and H are midpoints on CI and FG. Also, G and H are midpoint on AB and DE.
⟹AIBC and DJEF are parallelograms. ⟹AC=BI,DF=EJ⟹BI=EJ
∵AC=DF,BC=EF,CG=FH⟹2CG=2FH⟹CI=FJ
In the △BCI and △EFJ, BC=EF,CI=FJ,BI=EJ
∴△BCI≅△EFJ(SSS)⟹∠EFJ=∠BCI
Also, we can know △ACI≅△DFJ(SSS)⟹∠ACI=∠DFJ
∴∠ACI+∠BCI=∠DFJ+∠EFJ⟹∠ACB=∠DFE
In the △ABC and △DEF,AC=DF,∠ACB=∠DFE,BC=EF
∴△ABC≅△DEF(SAS)
When two triangles have two equal angles and they clip edge has an equal midian, they're congruent figures.
In the picture, ∠B=∠E,∠C=∠F,AH and DG are midians on BC and EF
In the △ABC and △DEF, ∠B=∠E,∠C=∠F
∴△ABC∼△DEF(AA)⟹DFAC=DEAB=EFBC
∵AH=DG⟹DGAH=EFBC=1⟹BC=EF
In the △ABC and △DEF, ∠B=∠E,∠C=∠F,BC=EF
∴△ABC≅△DEF(ASA)

Creative Design ........... Thanks, mate for sharing this. I left mathematics a long time ago although it was interesting for me. I loved to know these facts.
