CoachNo, an obtuse angle cannot be both complementary and supplementary because the measures of complementary angles add up to 90 degrees, while the measures of supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. An obtuse angle has a measure greater than 90 degrees, so it can only be supplementary, not complementary.

If angles are supplementary then one of the angles is an obtuse angle?
No. Both could be right angles.
Does a pair of supplementary angles include a obtuse angle and an acute angle?
Yes, unless they are both right angles.
Is complementary and suplementary is an angle?
Yes they are both the measure of angles and complementary angles add up to 90 degrees while supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees
Can a triangle be both acute and obtuse?
No, because if there is on obtuse angle the triangle will always be obtuse.
What angle is supplementary to a right angle?
Definition of a supplementary angle: an angle that is supplementary to another angle is an angle in which the sum of both angles forms a straight line or 180 degrees.Definition of a right angle: an angle whose measure is 90 degrees.Using these terms, let's put them into an equation.Right angle + Supplementary angle = 180.90 + Supplementary angle = 180.Subtract 90 from both sides.Supplementary angle = 180 - 90Supplementary angle = 90 degrees.Alternatively, you can think that two right angles are equivalent to a straight line and that all right angles are congruent and therefore; their supplementary angles are also congruent.
