Let x and y be the unknown angles
we know they are congruent, so they are equal: y = x
They are also complementary, so x+y = 90
-------------------------------------------------------
x+y = 90
x+x = 90 ... plug in y = x
2x = 90
x = 45
-------------------------------------------------------
The two angles are both 45 degree angles.
