If two of the angles are congruent in a set of two triangles, then that means the third angle is congruent. Going back to triangles, they have three sides thus three angles. In addition, triangles have 180 degrees so we can easily infer that the third angle is congruent in both triangles.

Answer: If all of the angles in both triangles are congruent then the triangles are SIMILAR not necessarily congruent. They can be congruent by using a theorem called ASA, SSS, or SAS. The "S" stands for Side and the "A" stands for angle.
