Answer:
We cannot prove this because if two triangles are congurent then there area are equal but when area are equal we do not have any proof that they are congurent
Hope it helps you

Step-by-step explanation:
let us consider that the two triangles are ΔABC and ΔPQR
given they are similar ΔABC ≈ ΔPQR
hence AB/PQ = BC/QR = AC/PR (corresponding sides of similar triangles)
also as their areas are equal
ar(ΔABC) = AB² = BC² = AC² (ratio of areas of similar triangles)
ar(ΔPQR) PQ² QR² PR²
as area of the two triangles is equal their ratio will be 1
hence AB²/PQ² = 1 , BC²/QR² = 1 , AC²/PR² = 1
then, AB² = PQ² , BC² = QR² , AC² = PR²
taking square roots
AB = PQ, BC=QR ,AC = PR
by SSS condition
ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR
hence proved
