Short Answer

In Exercises 29 and 30, tell whether a triangle exists for the given description. If so, classify the triangle by its angles. If not, explain why not.
Two of the angles are complementary.

When two of the angles are complementary, then a triangle exits and it can be classified as Right-angled triangle.

Step 1. Given Information.

Two of the angles are complementary.

Step 2. Explanation.

Complementary angles are those whose sum of the angles is $90 °$ . That is $m ∠ 1 + m ∠ 2 = 90 °$ .

In a right-angled triangle, one angle measures $90 °$ and the other two angles sum up to $90 °$ .

Thus, when two of the angles are complementary then a triangle exits and it can be classified as right-angled triangle.

As shown in the diagram, the two structures of the Puerta de Europa (Door of Europe) in Madrid, Spain, lean toward each other at an angle of $15 °$ from the vertical.

In the diagram, $∠ 1$ and the angle that measures $15 °$ are complementary angles. Find $m ∠ 1$ .
Tell whether $∠ 1$ and $∠ 2$ are complementary or supplementary angles. Then use your answer to part (a) to find $m ∠ 2$ .
