Know what  complementary and supplementary mean?

e.mccormick · Answer

$\angle A  + \angle B =180^\circ$ means supplementary.
$\angle A  + \angle B =90^\circ$ means complementary.

dannyrod2000 · Answer

complementary if you see they both are less than 90

dannyrod2000 · Answer

FCB is 90 and ACF is less than 90

e.mccormick · Answer

Umm... less than 90 is just acute.

e.mccormick · Answer

A little confirmation of the definitions I gave: http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/supplementary-angles.html http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/complementary-angles.html Just because two angles are acute does not mean they are complementary. 80 + 80 = 160. 80 is acute, but two of them are more than 90.
