Yes. Read on for why:
Take a parallelogram ABCD with midpoints E and F in the bases. So something like this (forgive the "drawing"):
A E B
__.__
/__.__/
C F D
We know that parallelogram AEFC = EBDF, since they have the same base (F bisects CD, so CF = FD), height (haven't touched that), and angles (<ACF = <EFD because they're parallel - trust me that everything else matches).
We also know that every parallelogram can be divided into two congruent triangles along their diagonal. So if two congruent parallelograms consistent of two congruent triangles each, then all four triangles are congruent.
So your congruent triangles are ACF, AEF, EFD, and EBD.
You can further reinforce this through ASA triangle congruency proofs (as I did at first), but this is a far more concise and equally valid answer.

What is a parellelogram with four congruent sides?
A parallelogram with equal sides is a rhombus. If the interior angles are right angles, it's a square.
How would you prove triangles are congruent?
You could prove two triangles are congruent by measuring each side of both triangles, and all three angles of each triangle. If the lengths of the sides are the same, and so are the angles, then the triangles are congruent... if not, then the triangles are not congruent. If the triangles have the exact same size and shape then they are congruent.
Is it true that two triangles have 3 pairs of congruent angles then the triangle are not guaranteed to be congruent?
When two triangles are congruent, there are 6 facts that are true about the triangles. The triangles have 3 sets of congruent (of equal length) sides and the triangles have 3 sets of congruent (of equal measure) angles.
What are the two properties of congruent triangles?
All the corresponding sides in congruent triangles are equal All the corresponding angles in congruent triangles are equal
Are two triangles are congruent if they have the same base?
No. All corresponding sides and angles have to be congruent for the triangles to be congruent.
What 3d shape has 4 congruent triangles?
A tetrahedron has four equilateral triangles as sides
You are quadrilateral with two parallel sides your opposite sides are congruent and you have acute and obtuse angles no right ones all four sides are not congruent what is the best name for you?
Parellelogram
What is a parellelogram with four congruent sides?
A parallelogram with equal sides is a rhombus. If the interior angles are right angles, it's a square.
What is the name of the geometric solid with four faces that are congruent triangles?
Isosceles TetrahedronA solid with four faces is a tetrahedron. Each of the faces is a triangle. If all the triangles are congruent, you have an isosceles tetrahedron.
A parellelogram with all sides and all angles congruent?
square.......
How many pairs of congruent triangles are formed diagonals of a rectangle?
Four.
Triangles that have their corresponding parts congruent?
Are congruent triangles.
What trapezoid can be subdivided into four congruent right triangles?
An isosceles trapezoid can be subdivided into 4 right angle triangles.
What postulate or theorem verifies the congruence of triangles?
sssThere are five methods for proving the congruence of triangles. In SSS, you prove that all three sides of two triangles are congruent to each other. In SAS, if two sides of the triangles and the angle between them are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. In ASA, if two angles of the triangles and the side between them are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. In AAS, if two angles and one of the non-included sides of two triangles are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. In HL, which only applies to right triangles, if the hypotenuse and one leg of the two triangles are congruent, then the triangles are congruent.
What are the four congruence theorems for a right triangle?
The four congruence theorem for right triangles are:- LL Congruence Theorem --> If the two legs of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding two legs of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.- LA Congruence Theorem --> If a leg and an acute angle of a right triangles is congruent to the corresponding leg and acute angle of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.- HA Congruence Theorem --> If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding hypotenuse and acute angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.- HL Congruence Theorem --> If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
What are three ways that you can prove that triangles are congruent?
If triangles have the corresponding sides congruent then they are congruent. SSS If two triangles have two sides and an included angle congruent then they are congruent. SAS If two triangles have two angles and an included side congruent then they are congruent. ASA SSA doesn't work.
