A complementary angle is an angle that when added to another angle creates a 90o angle. A supplementary angle is an angle that when added to another angle creates a 180o angle.

Alternate angles are equal
(look for the ’Z’ shape)
Vertically opposite angles are equal
The sum of complementary angles is 90°. The sum of supplementary angles is 180°. EXAMPLE : 27° is the complementary angle to 63° and the supplementary angle to 153°.
A supplementary angle can not be a complementary angle. The complementary angle has 2 angles equal 90... but a supplementary angle is X2 that much (108). * * * * * Nearly correct. 90 x 2 is 180, not 108!
For any given angle, its supplementary angle is 90 degrees larger than its complementary angle.
It is 120-degree angle are supplementary.
No, 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.
