Jerome Hogan · Answer 1

When two angles are supplementary, that means that the sum of their individual angles is equal to a straight line, which is 180°. If you add another restriction where the two supplementary angles are equal, then each vale of the angle constitutes half of 180°. Then, that means that ∠A = ∠B = 90°. The answer is C.
