Congruent angles simply means angles that are equal. A triangle has three angles . Since one of the angle is given as 98 degree, the other 2 angles which are congruents are therefore equal. The total angle of a triangle is equals to 180 degree. Therefore,


\begin{gathered} x+x+98=180 \\ 2x+98=180 \\ 2x=180-98 \\ 2x=82 \\ x=(82)/(2) \\ x=41 \end{gathered}

x = 41 degree
