Question

If the measurement of two angles
equals 90 degrees, then those angles
are complementary.
Choose the equivalent statement.
A. If two angles are not complementary, they do not add up to 90
degrees.
B. If two angles are not complementary, they add up to 90 degrees.
C. If two angle are complementary, they do not add up to 90 degrees.

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We are defined how two angles are only complementary if their measures sum up to 90 degrees.

So, in the statements, we either look for:

a) If complementary, then two angles sum up to 90 degrees.

OR

b) If NOT complementary, then the two angles do NOT sum up to 90 degrees.

Option B says how if NOT complementary, then they DO add up to 90 degrees, which is INCORRECT.

Option C says if two angles ARE complementary, then they DON'T add up to 90 degrees, which is INCORRECT.

Option A says that if two angles are NOT complementary, then they do NOT add up to 90 degrees, which is CORRECT.
