Tony Salazar · Answer 1

Well, two complementary angles measurements must equal 90 degrees. If these two angles are congruent, then their measurement is 45 degrees.

Agustin Bruce · Answer 2

Complementary means x+y=90 where x and y are not negative

congruent means equal measure

x+y=90

x=y

subsitute

x+x=90

2x=90

divide by 2

x=45

y=45

each angle is 45 degrees
