Answer:

True

Explanation:

Two or more figures are congruent if all of their sides and angles are equal.

You can draw two not congruent triangles with equal congruent parts.

For example, you know that the sum of the inside angles of a triangle is 180º.

You could find two triangles with 90º 45º and 45º angles but with different-length sides.

Those would be congruent angles but not congruent triangles.
