Assuming they are right-angled triangles, they are definitely congruent ;)

When 2 sides of a triangle, and the angle between them are equal (across 2 or more tris) - the triangles are identical.

Its quite common to leave the "right-angle" visual indicator out - but it should be included for completeness.

EDIT - actually, slightly incorrect. The 3rd side (the unmarked one) of the triangle HAS to be the same length in both tris - because they intersect halfway exactly. So you don't even need to have the right-angle indicator - its implicit.
