Answer:

Both angles are right angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles sum to 180°. Since we know that both angles are congruent, let's call them x and x. We can write the following equation:

x + x = 180

2x = 180

x = 90°

Therefore, we can conclude that both angles are right angles.
