First you need to know what the difference between complementary and supplementary angles.
Complementary angles- TWO angles that add up together to make 90 degrees. ex: 45degrees + 45degrees = 90degrees
Supplementary angles- TWO angle that add up together to make 180 degrees. ex: 90degrees + 90degrees = 180degrees
Now add 58&32 together.
58%2B32
You should get an answer of 90
addition%2858%2C32%29
So these two angles added together make 90 degrees therefore they are complementary, and then the answer would be "Angles A and B are complementary."
Hope this helps!
