The correct statement that best describes the two triangles is:
**The two triangles may be congruent, but additional measurements are needed.**
Having two pairs of sides that are the same length (specifically 9 mm in this case) means that the triangles are not necessarily congruent; they could be similar or different depending on the length of the third side and the angles. To determine if they are truly congruent, more information is needed, such as the length of the third sides or the angles of the triangles.
