Question 1
Congruent triangles are triangles that are THE SAME SHAPE AND SIZE.
Question 2
Let there be x pupils in the class.
4x + 2 = 110
4x = 108
x = 27
There are 27 pupils in the class.

1. Congruent means exactly the same shape and size. In other words all the angles are the same size and if you take any two angles that are the same in the triangles, the side between them will be the same length. Triangles can still be congruent if they are flipped - so they might not look exactly alike, but if you cut them out they would fit exactly over each other.

2. Take 2 from 110, gives you 108 eggs given out. 108/4 = 27 , so there were 27 kids in the class.

1. Two triangles are congruent if all three sides have equal measures.

2. There are 27 students. Divide 110 by 4 and there are 2 eggs left.

Meaning:It means that all of the measurements equal.

congruent: same size and shape

110 easter eggs: 27*4 = 108

27 kids in the class would give a remainder of 2 eggs.

1.> it means each and every angle and side lengths are equal
2.>
let there be x students.
then,
4x+2=110;
i.e. x=27 ans.
hence 27 students are in the class.

I think that congruent triangels would have equal angles and proportionally length sides

4x+2=110
4x=108
x=27
