Yes, you're correct!

Line up the letters like this \[\Large \text{ABC}\\ \Large \text{XYZ}\] Notice how AC or CA are the first & last letters of ABC \[\Large \color{red}{\text{A}}\text{B}\color{red}{\text{C}}\\ \Large \text{XYZ}\] So are X and Z \[\Large \color{red}{\text{A}}\text{B}\color{red}{\text{C}}\\ \Large \color{red}{\text{X}}\text{Y}\color{red}{\text{Z}}\] ------------------------------------------------------- What this all means is that AC (or CA) corresponds to XZ (or ZX) So if the two triangles are congruent, then AC = XZ. You are correct.
