     Statements                                                                                               Reason

1. [tex]\angle A[/tex] and [tex]\angle B[/tex] are supplementary                    Given

2. [tex]m \angle A + m \angle B = 180^\circ[/tex]                Def of supplementary angles

3. [tex]m \angle A = 90^\circ[/tex]                                                                  Given

4. [tex]90^\circ + m \angle B = 180^\circ[/tex]               Substitution property of Equality

5. [tex]m \angle B = 90^\circ[/tex]                                Subtraction property of Equality

6. [tex]m \angle A = m \angle B[/tex]                           Substitution property of Equality

7. [tex]\angle A \cong \angle B[/tex]                                 Angle congruence postulate

When the measures of two angles are equal, then the angles are congruent by Angle congruence postulate.

Answer:

1.  and  are supplementary                    Given

2.                 Def of supplementary angles

3.                                                                   Given

4.                Substitution property of Equality

5.                                 Subtraction property of Equality

6.                            Substitution property of Equality

7.                                  Angle congruence postulate

When the measures of two angles are equal, then the angles are congruent by Angle congruence postulate.
