Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe triangles can be "equal", only congruent. The measurements can be equal, but not the triangle itself.

The triangle congruency postulates and theorems are:

Side/Side/Side Postulate - If all three sides of a triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Angle/Side/Angle Postulate - If two angles and a side included within those angles of a triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Side/Angle/Side Postulate - If two sides and an angle included within those sides of a triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Angle/Angle/Side Theorem - If two angles and an unincluded side of a triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Hypotenuse/Leg Theorem - (right triangles only) If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
