Answer:

A. Complementary and Adjacent

B. ∠KLM = 22° and ∠MLN = 68°

Explanation:

Question A

As ∠KLN is a right angle, ∠KLN = 90°

⇒ ∠KLM + ∠MLN = 90°

When the sum of two angles is 90°, they are called complementary angles.

∠KLM and ∠MLN have a common side of ML and a common vertex (corner point) L.

When two angles have a common side and a common vertex but do not overlap in any way, the are called adjacent angles.

Question B

First find n:

∠KLM + ∠MLN = ∠KLN

⇒ 2n + (6n + 2) = 90

⇒ 2n + 6n + 2 = 90

Combine like terms:

⇒ 8n + 2 = 90

Subtract 2 from both sides:

⇒ 8n = 88

Divide both sides by 8:

⇒ n = 11

Now substitute the found value of n into the expressions for the two angles:

⇒ ∠KLM = 2(11) = 22°

⇒ ∠MLN = 6(11) + 2 = 68°
