Question 988802
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Consider 2 similar right triangles.  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.
