There is a THEOREM,,,," If two angles are supplements of congruent angles(or the same angle), THEN the two angles are congruent.
.
In this case,,,the "same angle" is 90 degrees.
.
Both of the right angles are supplements,
.
Therefore the right angles are congruent,
.
Or an alternate approach
.
Definition of a right angle is " Angle with measure 90 degrees"
.
Definition of congruent angle is "Angles that have equal measure"
.
Since both angles are "right" , then both have measure of 90, therefore they are congruent.
.
