Answer:

Look at the attached picture

Explanation:

Yes, they are congruent by the SAS Theorem

From the figure, we see that there are two congruent pairs of corresponding sides, AC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯≅DF¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯,BC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯≅EF¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, and one congruent pair of corresponding angles, ∠C≅∠F. The Side-Angle-Side Theorem (SAS) states that if two sides and the angle between those two sides of a triangle are equal to two sides and the angle between those sides of another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.

When triangles are congruent, one triangle can be moved (through one, or more, rigid motions) to coincide with the other triangle.
