not sure - i think congruent is only used in geometry but i may be wrong
congruent triangles are the same size and shape
equal means the exactly the same. congruence means they are related in the same way.
equals is used when two things are the same value congruent is used when to things are the same size
but consider a triangle with all sides length 1, and a triangle with all sides length 2. they are different sizes, but congruent because all sides relate to other sides of the same triangle in the same way.
