Answer:
see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
m∠PQS+m∠SQR=m∠PQR ----> equation A (by Addition Angle Postulate)
we have that
m∠PQR=90° ----> equation B given problem (because is a right angle)
substitute equation B in equation A
m∠PQS+m∠SQR=90°
Remember that
Two angles re complementary is their sum is equal to 90 degrees (Definition of complementary angles)
therefore
m∠PQS and m∠SQR are complementary angles
