Prove congruent angles have congruent supplements.
I do not yet have degrees.
Could I somehow use the base angles of isosceles triangles are congruent?

Let $angle$BAC $cong$ $angle$EDF where AB $cong$ DE and AC $cong$ DF. We then have congruent triangles ABC and DEF by connecting B to C and E to F (they are congruent due to side-angle-side). Extend BA to a point P, and extend ED to a point Q such that AP $cong$ DQ. Then PBC $cong$ QEF (again using side-angle-side), meaining $angle$APC $cong$ $angle$DQF. Since AC $cong$ DF and PC $cong$ QF, APC $cong$ DQF so that $angle$PAC $cong$ $angle$QDF, which is the desired result.
