a linear pair!
Yes, two adjacent angles whose exterior sides are opposite rays are complementary. This is because the angles formed by the opposite rays sum up to 180 degrees, and since they are adjacent, their measures add up to 90 degrees, fulfilling the definition of complementary angles. Thus, the two angles are indeed complementary.
No? Wouldn't they then be supplementary? Opposite rays make a straight angle/line, and if the exterior sides made the straight angle, the adjacent angles would be supplementary. ...Right?
A square is a rectangle whose adjacent sides are equal.
That depends what you're asked for. If you're asked for the tangent of the angle, divide (opposite)/(adjacent) . If you're asked for the hypotenuse of the triangle, it's sqrt( opposite2 + adjacent2 ) . If you're asked for the cosine of the angle, it's (adjacent)/(hypotenuse) . If you're asked for the other acute angle, it's the angle whose tangent is (adjacent)/(opposite) . If you're not asked for anything, then get your jacket, chew some gum, and go home.
a linear pair!
Not clear what exactly the question is.
A pair of adjacent angles whose non-common sides are opposite rays are called a linear pair. The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.

Rectangle, possibly a square if the adjacent sides are also equal.
