If two triangles have three pairs of congruent angles the the triangle is congruent?

Yes they are. Or they could have three pairs of congruent sides, or they could have one pair of congruent angles and two pairs of sides. As far as a triangle goes, if you have at least three pairs of congruent sides or angles they are congruent. This answer is wrong. The triangles are only similar. For congruent trisngles we have the following theorems = Side - side - side, Side - Angle - side , Angle - angle - side, Right triangle - hypotenuse - side.
