### Geometry Proof

**Given:**
\( \overline{AB} \perp \overline{BC} \).

**To Prove:**
\( \angle A \) and \( \angle C \) are complementary.

**Note:** Quadrilateral properties are *not* permitted in this proof.

| Statement                     | Reason |
|-------------------------------|--------|
| \( \overline{AB} \perp \overline{BC} \) | Given  |

#### Diagram Explanation:

The diagram depicts a right triangle \( \triangle ABC \) with \( \overline{AB} \) perpendicular to \( \overline{BC} \). Angle \( \angle ABC \) is noted as a right angle (90 degrees). Points \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) are labeled accordingly on the diagram, representing vertices of the triangle.
