They are equal.

Explanation:

One theorem of geometry says:
Two angles complementary to the same angle are congruent.

See this example:

If an angle is #60^@#, it's complement is #30^@#, because
#60 + 30 = 90#

Say there's another complement. What's it's measure? It has to be #30^@# too! So they are congruent.

Conclusion: #angle A cong angleC# because they're both #30^@#
