The M < A is complementary to M <+B.
the M < C is complementary to M < B.
If M < A=62, what is M < B and the M <+C?

if so, then M < A=M < C
=> If M < A=62, then M < C=62

Two Angles are Complementary when they add up to 90 degrees (a Right Angle).
A%2BB=90
B=90-A....eq.1
B=90-62
B=28
then, double check angle C:
C%2BB=90
C=90-B....eq.2.......substitute B
C=90-28
C=62
=> M < A=62
=> M < B=28
=> M+< C=62
