Check out the attached image below to see how the proof table looks like.

===================================================

Further explanation:

You start with what we're given, which is the two statements that

  • A and B are complementary angles.
  • B and C are complementary angles.

We literally copy/paste this into the first box for the "Statements"

From there, we can say A+B = 90 and B+C = 90 due to the definition of what "complementary" means. Complementary angles always add to 90 degrees.

Since A+B = 90 and B+C = 90, the left hand sides can be set equal to one another through the substitution rule. That's how we end up with A+B = B+C on step 3.

Next, we subtract B from both sides to go from A+B = B+C to A = C.

For the last step, we do a bit of a notation change, and the proof is wrapped up.
