If one angle is the supplement of another, we know that their sum is 180 degrees.
So let one angle be A and the supplement be B. We know the measure of A+B=180.
If A is acute that means its measure is less than 90 degrees. The supplement must therefore have measure more than 90 degrees. We could say the supplement of an acute angle must be an obtuse angle. Remember obtuse angle is one that less than 180 degrees and more than 90.

What is the supplement of an acute angle?
To find the supplement of an acute angle, do the following. Supplements must add to 180 degrees, therefore: x=the measure of the acute angle 180-x is the equasion to find the supplement Good Question!
If a triangle has one acute angle is the triangle necessarily acute?
No, an acute triangle must have all 3 angles under 90 degrees. A triangle can have an acute angle and still be a right triangle or an obtuse triangle.
If an angle is not acute straight or obtuse it must be what?
It could be a right angle or a reflex angle
What is a 17 degree angle?
An acute angle
What angle is smaller than a right angle?
