I think you can draw two of them.

As you walk around the triangle in the clockwise direction,
you can run into the sides in the order of

3 ==> 4 ==> 1

or in the order of

3 ==> 1 ==> 4 .

Those are mirror images of each other. So they're not congruent,
and I think they're considered different triangles.
