what do we mean when we say that two sides or angles of triangle are concurrent?
if (c+a)(c-a) = (b+a)(b-a) = (b+c)(b-c)
then do we mean that these are concurrent?

Here everyone is saying that it is not 'concurrent' it is 'congurent' BUT the question in the book says 'concurrent'. Please help, there must be some difference between 'concurrent' and 'conguerent'.

Concurrent of a Triangle
The three mediums of a triangle share intersecting points,as do the three altitudes, midsegments, angle bisectors and perpendicular bisectors.
( c+ b)(c - a) =(b + a)(b - a) = (b + c)(b -c)
These sides are concurrent

When talking about geometry 'concurrent' usually means meeting at a point. so naturally any two sides of a triangle are concurrent, but all three of them aren't.
Lines such as the perpendicular bisectors are concurrent - they all meet at the same point.

its not concurrent its congruent 2 sides and 1 angle of 2 triangles are equal then they are congruent.

Concurrent means similar & congruent means the same.

Consecutive ability one after yet another, concurrent ability jointly, so for the numbers you've given, the completed may be one hundred, because the first ninety of the concurrent may tick off jointly the ninety consecutive may, to that end leaving a stability of 10.

You mean CONGRUENT? Congruent in mathematic means to describe geometric object wherein the sides are equal and the shape are the same. if you have a congruent triangle it means that the sides a=b=c, and the angle a=β=δ. So if (c+a)(c-a) = (b+a)(b-a) = (b+c)(b-c) then it is congruent.

I think you mean congruent. If two sides of a triangle are congruent than they are equal.
a=b, b=c, a=c, too.

first of all it is conguerent
conguerent means equal in all respect [angle,size,measuerments etc.]
