Question

triangle abc is a right triangle. what is the relationship between angles a and b? they are congruent. they are complementary. they are supplementary. there is no relationship between them.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of complementary angles

Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is \(90^{\circ}\).

Step2: Calculate the sum of angles \(A\) and \(B\)

Given \(\angle A = 59^{\circ}\) and \(\angle B=31^{\circ}\), then \(\angle A+\angle B = 59^{\circ}+31^{\circ}=90^{\circ}\)

Answer:

They are complementary.
