I'm pretty sure that theyre complimentary because the right angle and the 180° line insure that their measurements are the same

The answer for the exercise shown in the figure attached is the first option, which is: They are congruent.
The explanation is shown below: By definition, two angles are congruents if they have the same measure. Therefore, if you draw a line and and intersect that line with a right angle, (as the figure attached) and then you measure the angle 1 and the angle 2, you will notice that the have the same measure. Therefore, both angles (the angles 1 and 2) are congruent.
