ABC and DEF where angle C and angle F are the right angles. Then, since the sum of the two acute angles in any right triangle must be complementary, and by similarity angle B is equal in measure to angle E, angle A and angle E are complementary but are not necessarily adjacent. Therefore your assertion that if two angles are complementary, they are adjacent is false.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "John \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " |
