Question 540312: Can you help me prove this theorem? "Complements of congruent angles are congruent"

Hint: Say x and y are congruent angles. So x = y


The complements of x and y are 90-x and 90-y respectively.


If you can show that 90-x = 90-y (using the fact that x = y), then you will have shown that the complements are also congruent.
