yep, that would be false
congruent parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

They have to be congruent according to the side-side-side theorem which says that two traingles sharing the same lengths of sides must also have the same angles, and are therefore congruent. What kind of quetion is this?

False
Two triangles with congruent side lengths are ALWAYS congruent...

false
congruent triangles have the same ratio of side lengths, so two triangels with the same sides would have to be congruent

false, you could only create the same type of triangle so they would have to be congruent

The answer is True.
(Not to be mean or anything but that wasn't really a True or False question.)
