Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

The tickmarks tell us which pair of sides are congruent. Also, we know that angle CBF = angle GBH due to the vertical angle theorem. However, notice those angles are not between the congruent sides. So we cannot use SAS. Instead we have SSA which is not a valid congruence theorem. The triangles may or may not be congruent. There's not enough info to say either way.
