Question
(b)If ∠1 and ∠2 are complementary angles, then one of them must have a measure greater than 45°.=Counterexample:m∠1=, °m∠2°
Solution
The statement is not necessarily true. Complementary angles are two angles that add up to 90 degrees. It is possible for both angles to be less than 45 degrees. For example, if ∠1 is 40°, then ∠2 would be 50° to make them complementary. However, it is also possible for both angles to be exactly 45°, making them complementary as well. Therefore, it is not a requirement for one of the angles to be greater than 45°.
