Given: right triangle ABC, rt. angle at vertex C.
1. angle A + angle B + angle C = 180o
sum of angles, any triangle, is 180 deg.
2. angle C = 90o
3. angle A + angle B = 90o
result of subtracting eq. in step 2 from eq. in step 1.
4. angles A & B are complementary
because the sum of their measurements is 90 deg. (cf. step 3).
