Math Problem Statement
What is the relationship between [\blueD{\angle m}] and [\greenD{\angle n}]? A straight slanting line with filled points E and C marked near its left and right arrowheads, respectively. Ray A B, going upwards is perpendicular to line E C and meets the line at filled point A. Ray A D, going downwards, meets line E C at filled point A. Right angle E A B is labeled N. Acute angle E A D is labeled M. Angle E A B and angle E A D are adjacent angles. [B] [C] [D] [E] [m] [n] [A] Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) Vertical angles A Vertical angles (Choice B) Complementary angles B Complementary angles (Choice C) Supplementary angles C Supplementary angles (Choice D) None of the above D None of the above
Solution
The relationship between and can be understood based on their geometric configuration. Since and are adjacent angles formed by two rays and intersecting line , and is a right angle (90°), the two angles must add up to 180°. Therefore, the correct relationship between and is that they are supplementary angles.
Thus, the correct answer is: (Choice C) Supplementary angles
