Notice that the ray ZX splits a right angle.
Example Pair: ∠ QZX and ∠ XZY
We are given the following figure.
Complementary Angles |
Complementary angles have a sum of 90^(∘). |
First, notice that ∠ QZY is a 90^(∘) angle.
We can see that the ray ZX splits this angle into two angles ∠ QZX and ∠ XZY.
This means that angles m∠ QZX and m∠ XZY add up to 90^(∘), so they are complementary.
