Answer:

<2 + <3 =
90^(o)

Thus, angles 2 and 3 are complementary.

Explanation:

Complementary angles are two or more angles that their sum equals
90^(o). Given that: i. <1 and <2 are complementary

ii. <1 ≅ <3

iii. <2 ≅ <4

Prove that: <2 and <3 are complementary

Proof:

<1 + <2 =
90^(o) (complementary angles)

<1 ≅ <3 (congruent property)

<2 ≅ <4 (congruent property)

⇒ <3 + <4 =
90^(o) (complementary angles by congruent property)

Since <1 ≅ <3,

∴ <2 + <3 =
90^(o)

Thus, angles 2 and 3 are complementary
