Okay, 1st thing; Pair always means two.  2nd thing, Do you know what congruent means?

anonymous · Answer

Yes, that they're equal

nikkibxox · Answer

Basically, Yeah!  They will mesure the same but basically they just have to be the same shape. It can be smaller or large, or tilted.  Ect.   So, their are two pairs of triangles and they are asking are both congruent.  What do you think?

anonymous · Answer

I don't know? I think there's either 2 or 4?

nikkibxox · Answer

There are two pairs.  There is 4 triangles but a pair=2  and Its asking how many pairs.  If there were 6 individual triangles there would be 3 pairs. Does that make sence?
