First, an acute angle is an Angle that is less than a right angle (<90°)
Secondly, an obtuse angle is one that is more than a right angle but less then a straight angle (<180°)
then, the complementary angles of a pair of angles is 90° or a Right angle
and the complement of an acute angle is the amount needed of an unknown angle (against known angles) to make 90° or a right angle
a supplementary angle are a pair of angles which, when Added together, make 180° or a straight line.
and the suplement to an angle is the value of an unknow angle to to be added on to make 180°

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 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.
