Explanation:
Congruent angles have the same measurement (are the same size). If
mangle1=x
mangle2=x
holds true.
Complementary angles have a sum of
mangle1+mangle2=90
Substitute the equivalent forms of these angle measurements
x+x=90
Solve algebraically.
2x=90
x=45
Each angle is
Since complementary angles' sum is
