SOLUTION: if two consecutive sides and a non-included angle of one triangle are congruent to two consecutive sides and a non-included of another triangle the two triangles are congruent true

you could have an acute triangle and an obtuse triangle, both of which have 2 corresponding congruent sides and a congruent angle that is not included between the sides, while the other angles could be totally different.
