[asy] import olympiad; size(150); pair D = (0, 10), C = (10, 5), B = (10, 0), A = (0, 0); draw(A--B); draw(C--A); draw(D--A); label("$A$", A, SW); label("$B$", B, SE); label("$C$", C, W); label("$D$", D, NE); [/asy]

As long as $\angle BAD$ is a right angle, $\angle BAC$ and $\angle CAD$ are complementary angles to each other.
