In this picture, we have the triangles with two common sides and one common angle. However, they are not congruent, as they do not follow any of the congruence theorems. The congruence theorem with two sides and an angle is the SAS(Side-Angle-Side). However, the angle has to be the angle between the two sides, which does not happen in this case.
