This conditional statement is true...

If two angles are right angles, then they are congruent.

The converse is ...If they are congruent, then the angles are right angles

This would be false because not all congruent angles are right angles
Is this correct

Yes, you are correct. The converse of the original conditional statement is "If they are congruent, then the angles are right angles." You correctly identified that this statement is false because not all congruent angles are right angles. In order to determine the truth value of a converse statement, you need to consider if the original statement and the converse statement are both true or false. In this case, since the original statement is true and the converse is false, we can conclude that the original statement and its converse are not logically equivalent.
