Q85 of 113 Page 128

Can two acute angles form a pair of supplementary angles? Give reason in support of your answer.

Two acute angles can never form a pair of supplementary angles.


Acute angles are always less than 900. So their sum will always be less than 2 × 900 = 1800.Hence they can never can form a pair of supplementary angles.
