Answer:

a) Angles that are congruent are complementary to the same angle

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the figure attached:

Two angles are complementary if their sum is 90°

given that :

                                ∠KJM = ∠KLM = 90° --- (1)

                                ∠KJC ≅ ∠MLC

                                ⇒ ∠KJC = ∠MLC ---- (2)

                                ∠KJM = ∠KJC + ∠CJM

so by (1) above eq becomes

                                ∠KJC + ∠CJM =  90° --- (3)

Similarly for ∠KLM

                                ∠KLM = ∠KLC + ∠MLC

                                ∠KLC + ∠MLC = 90° ---- (4)

Substitute (2) in (4)

                                ∠KLC + ∠KJC = 90°

Which proves that ∠KLC and ∠KJC are complementary angles

So,

Angles that are congruent are complementary to the same angle
