a triangles interior angles, when added = 180 degrees....and if u have a right triangle, then ur right angle measures 90 degrees.....so ur acute angles would have to, when added = 90 degrees for the total of ur angles to equal 180.
and when 2 angles are added, and they equal 90 degrees, they are complementary angles.

so ur answer is : complimentary
