Exercise 1 Page 479

Notice that the ray ZX splits a right angle.

Example Pair: ∠ QZX and ∠ XZY

Practice makes perfect

We are given the following figure.

We are asked to name a pair of complementary angles.

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.
