Question

look at ∠xvy and ∠z vy in the image below. which of the following is the best description for this pair of angles? complementary acute right supplementary

Explanation:

Step1: Define angle types

• Complementary angles: Two angles whose sum is \(90^{\circ}\).
• Supplementary angles: Two angles whose sum is \(180^{\circ}\).
• Right angle: An angle that measures \(90^{\circ}\).
• Acute angle: An angle that measures less than \(90^{\circ}\).

Step2: Analyze the pair \(\angle XVY\) and \(\angle ZVY\)

From the diagram, \(\angle XVY+\angle ZVY = 90^{\circ}\) (as they form a right - angled configuration at the vertex \(V\)).

Answer:

complementary
