Answer: Angle 1 and Angle 4 are equal

Explanation:

If angles 1 and 2 are complementary, they equal 90.

If angles 2 and 4 are complementary, they equal 90.

∠1 +∠2 = 90

∠2 + ∠4 = 90

Since they're both equal to the same thing, you can set them equal to each other.

∠1 +∠2 = ∠2 + ∠4

If you subtract ∠2 from both sides, you are left with ∠1 = ∠4
