Given:Twoanglesare complementary angle.
Just suppose that the two complementary angles are
So
Now consider that the conclusion is wrong by assuming its opposite is right.
Means suppose that
be true because
And similarly,
Since the assumption of
be possible in the case of complementary angle.
Hence, it is proved that neither angle is right angle.
