congruent means equivalent. An equilateral triangle has 3 of the same sides, not two. Isosceles triangles can have 2 or 3 of the same length sides. Congruent isosceles triangles are impossible.
I agree with most of the above answer but not the last sentence. It is possible to have congruent isosceles triangles. If the legs (sides) of triangle 1 are the same length as the legs of triangle 2, and the bases (third side) of the two triangles are the same length then the two isosceles triangles will be congruent.
So the answer to the question is: yes, a congruent triangle can have two same length sides.

If it's an equilateral triangle then its 3 sides are congruent but if it's an isosceles triangle then only 2 of its sides are congruent

What are 2 congruent sides in an isosceles triangle?
two sides that are the same, but not necessarily in the same position. :)
Is the isosceles triangle the only triangle with congruent sides and angles?
In an isosceles triangle 2 sides are congruent and 2 angles are congruent. In an equilateral triangle all 3 sides are congruent and all 3 angles are congruent also.
What is the name of a triangle with 2 congruent sides?
An isosceles triangle has two congruent sides.
How many congruent sides are in a triangle?
It has 2 congruent sides
How many sides of the triangle are congruent?
If it's an equilateral triangle then its 3 sides are congruent but if it's an isosceles triangle then only 2 of its sides are congruent
Do isosceles triangles always have 2 congruent sides?
Yes because the two sides of a triangle that are the same lenth are congruent.
What is a triangle with no congrent sides?
That is a scalene triangle. An isosceles triangle has at least 2 congruent sides and an equilateral triangle has 3 congruent sides.
What is an isosles triangle?
An isosceles triangle is a triangle with 2 congruent sides and 2 congruent angles.
Are all sides of an isosceles triangle are congruent?
No because only 2 of its 3 sides are congruent in an isosceles triangle but all 3 sides of an equilateral triangle are congruent.
Are 2 equilateral triangles always congruent?
No. A triangle with 2-inch sides is not congruent with a triangle with 3-inch sides.
