Answer:

∠KXN and ∠QXT

Explanation:

The measure of each angle is the difference of the scale values that the rays intercept. (The same scale needs to be used for each ray.) Of course, complementary angles have a sum of 90°.

Here, we'll refer to angle aXb as "ab".

NP = 95 -35 = 60

PQ = 35 -20 = 15 . . . not complementary to NP

__

KN = 165 -95 = 70

QT = 20 -0 = 20 . . . complementary to KN ⇒ your answer

__

JK = 180 -165 = 15

PQ = 35 -20 = 15 . . . not complementary to JK

__

JK = 15

NK = KN = 70 . . . not complementary to JK
