We have the following:

Congruence criteria

The congruence criteria show us the minimum information necessary to affirm that two

triangles are congruent. They allow us to identify, with the available information, if two triangles

are or are not congruent with each other.

First congruence criterion: SSS

Two triangles are congruent if their three sides are respectively equal

Second congruence criterion: SAS

Two triangles are congruent if they have two sides and the angle between them respectively equal.

Third congruence criterion: ASA

Two triangles are congruent if they have one side and the two angles adjacent to that side respectively equal.

In this case we have that all the angles are equal, therefore, all their sides are equal, which means that it is an SSS congruence.
