As I remember, the word "congruent" means exactly the same shape and size. This being so, a square and a triangle are not congruent.

No, they can't. (Except it be a point triangle and point square)
If 2 figures be congruent, all of its angles must equal.
But a triangle's angle has sum 180deg.
And a square has 360 deg.
So it can't be.
