Question

Determine if the given conjecture is true or not. Give a counterexample if it is false.
Given: ∠𝑃 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝑄 are complementary. ∠𝑄 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝑅 are complementary.
Conjecture: ∠𝑃 ≅ ∠𝑅

The correct answer is: the given conjecture is true


    We have given that

                ∠𝑃 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝑄 are complementary.

     ∠𝑄 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝑅 are complementary.
    Which means ∠𝑃 + ∠𝑄 = 90
    And  ∠𝑄 + ∠𝑅 = 90
    If we subtract ∠𝑄 from both sides of both equations we get,

    ∠P  =90 - ∠𝑄

    ∠R = 90 - ∠𝑄
    If we compare RHS of the both obtained equations
    We can say that

    ∠𝑃 ≅ ∠𝑅
    Therefore, the given conjecture is true.
