Yes. The triangles have the same angle measures but different, similar side lengths.
Think of two different sized equilateral triangles. One can have side lengths of 6 inches while the other has side lengths of 20 inches, but they still have congruent angles of 60 degrees. Each ratio of side lengths is equal [6/20=6/20=6/20].

In two triangles have a congruent angle and two congruent angle and two congruent sides then the triangles are guaranteed to be congruent?
Yes, if two triangles have two congruent angles and two congruent sides then the triangles are guaranteed to be congruent. They only need two angles and one side congruent or two sides and one angle in order to be congruent.
Are corresponding angles of similar triangles congruent?
Yes.
Is angle angle angle a way to show that triangles are similar?
Yes, AAA is a way to show that triangles are similar. Note, however, that AAA is not a way to show that triangles are congruent.
If two lines are cut by a transversal are the corresponding angles congruent?
No. Angles are not congruent. (Triangles may be congruent.)
Which are congruence theorems for right triangles?
If the hypotenuse and a leg of two right triangles are the same measure, the triangles are congruent
The term for two triangles that are congruent after a dilation is?
The term for two triangles that are congruent after a dilation is similar.
What do you call two triangles with proportional sides?
They are said to be similar but not congruent triangles.
If two triangles are congruent are they similar?
yes
Two triangles that have the same angles?
The triangles are similar, but not necessarily congruent.
Are two triangles with corresponding congruent angles congruent?
No, they are similar. They may be congruent, but they need not be.
What is the term for two triangles that are congruent after a dilation?
Similar
What are two isosceles triangles with congruent vertex angles?
They're similar triangles.
Is sss a way to find if triangles are similar?
Triangles are congruent if all three sides in one triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides in the other.When two triangles have corresponding sides with identical ratios, the triangles are similar.Of course if triangles are congruent, they are also similar.
Are similar triangles always congruent?
No, congruent triangles are always similar but similar triangles and not always congruent. Imagine that similar triangles can be created on a copy machine enlarge and shrink the image, turn it, even turn it over, the angles remain the same. A congruent triangle must be exactly the same as the original. Hope this helps!
Can you always cut a right triangle into two congruent triangles?
Similar, YES. Congruent, NO.
If the corresponding side lengths of two triangles are congruent the corresponding angles are also congruent.?
False. The statement should be: If the corresponding side lengths of two triangles are congruent, and the triangles are similar, then the corresponding angles are also congruent.
If the vertex angles of two isosceles triangles are congruent are the triangles always similar?
Yes, they are.
