Can two angles be supplementary if both of them are:
(i) Acute
(ii) Obtuse
(iii) Right?
(i) If both the angles are acute then two angles can’t be supplementary because:
Acute angle is always less than 90o and addition of any two angles less than 90o can never be equal to 180o
Hence,
Two acute angles cannot be in a supplementary angle pair
(ii) If both the angles are obtuse then two angles can’t be supplementary because:
Obtuse angle is always greater than 90o and addition of any two angles greater than 90o can never be equal to 180o
Hence,
Two obtuse angles cannot be in a supplementary angle pair
(iii) if both the angles are right angles then the pair of angles must be supplementary because:
Right angle is equal to 90o and addition of two right angles is equal to 180o
i.e., 90o + 90o = 180o
Hence,
Two right angles form a supplement angle of pair
