Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90°.

In the given angles:

  • m∠1 = 65°
  • m∠2 = 90°
  • m∠3 = 30°
  • m∠4 = 25°

Let's analyze the pairs:

  • m∠1 + m∠4: 65° + 25° = 90° (This pair is complementary)
  • m∠2 is 90° and cannot be complementary with any angle.
  • m∠3 + m∠4: 30° + 25° = 55° (Not complementary)
  • m∠1 + m∠3: 65° + 30° = 95° (Not complementary)
  • m∠3 + m∠2: 30° + 90° = 120° (Not complementary)
  • m∠1 + m∠2: 65° + 90° = 155° (Not complementary)

Therefore, the complementary angles are: smaller ∠4 and larger ∠1.
