Technically, triangles don't have tops or bottoms; triangles are rotatable abstractions. Each of the three lines is called a side and each of the three corners is called a vertex. In more friendly real-world terms, if a triangle is oriented with a side at the "bottom", then the "top" is a vertex; in this case one might call the "bottom" the triangle's base and call the corner at the "top" the vertex opposite the base. If a triangle is oriented with a vertex at the "bottom", then the "top" could be a side or it could be another vertex depending upon the exact shape of the triangle.
