Sarah and her friend Emma are planning to hang
shelves in their bedrooms. They both have triangular-
shaped shelves with identical measurements. Sarah
wants to make sure her shelf is positioned exactly
the same as Emma's. They know that the sides of
their triangular shelves are congruent, as well as the
angles. If Sarah measures the angle between the wall
and the bottom of her shelf to be 60 degrees, what
can she conclude about the corresponding angle on
Emma's shelf?
