Angles J X M, M X N, and N X P form a straight line. Angle M X N is a right angle.
Which statement is true about ∠JXM and ∠NXP?

Respuesta :

Answer:

∠JXM and ∠NXP are complementary

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

[tex]m\angle JXM+m\angle MXN+m\angle NXP=180^o[/tex] ----> form a straight line

we have

[tex]m\angle MXN=90^o[/tex]

substitute

[tex]m\angle JXM+90^o+m\angle NXP=180^o[/tex]

[tex]m\angle JXM+m\angle NXP=180^o-90^o[/tex]

[tex]m\angle JXM+m\angle NXP=90^o[/tex]

Remember that

Two angles are complementary, if their sum is equal to 90 degrees

therefore

∠JXM and ∠NXP are complementary
