Answer:

Congruent

Explanation:

By definition, congruent shapes have equal corresponding side lengths and equal corresponding angle measures, thus are identical. The question clearly states that Joan cut the fabric into two identical pieces with a straight cut through one of the vertices, hence the two triangles are congruent.
