No, the triangles are not necessarily congruent.

The correct response is:

No, the triangles are not necessarily congruent.

The SSA (Side-Side-Angle) condition does not always ensure that two triangles are congruent. It can lead to ambiguous cases where two different triangles could satisfy the given conditions. Therefore, we cannot conclude that the triangles are congruent based solely on the SSA congruence theorem.
