Not necessarily. You find the area of a triangle with the formula 1/2*base*height=Area.
Imagine two triangles, one with 3 inches for both the base and height, and one with 4.5 inches for the height and 2 inches for the base. Both of these triangles will have 9 sq. in. for their areas, but they are not congruent.

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.
If two triangles have the same side lengths then the triangles are?
They are congruent.
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.
What are two congruent triangles?
They are two triangles whose corresponding sides and angles are the same.
Can two triangles with 2 congruent angles and 1 congruent side congruent?
Yes, they are. IF the side is between the two angles in both triangles,and all three items flow in the same direction in both triangles.
