Given: Angle 1 is compliment to angle 2.
Prove: Angle ABC is a right angle.

Angle 1 + angle 2 + Angle 3 = 180 (angles of a triangle are supplementary)
Since angle 1 is complementary to angle 2, angle 1 + angle 2 =
We can then say that:
+ angle 3 =
Angle 3 = ( - )

Now, since angle 3 = , it follows that that triangle ABC is a right triangle
