Can two angles be supplementary if both of them are:
$(i)$. acute? $(ii)$. obtuse? $(iii)$. right?
To do:
We have to find whether two angles be supplementary if both of them are:
(i) Acute
(ii) Obtuse
(iii) Right
Solution:
(i) We know that,
Acute angle $< 90^{\circ}$
Therefore,
Acute angle $+$ Acute angle $< 90^{\circ}+90^{\circ}$
This implies,
Acute angle $+$ Acute angle $< 180^{\circ}$
Therefore, two acute angles cannot be supplementary angles.
(ii) We know that,
Obtuse angle $> 90^{\circ}$
This implies,
Obtuse angle $+$ Obtuse angle $> 90^{\circ}+90^{\circ}$
Obtuse angle $+$ Obtuse angle $>180^{\circ}$
Therefore, two obtuse angles cannot be supplementary angles.
(iii) We know that,
Right angle $=90^{\circ}$
This implies,
Right angle $+$ Right angle $=90^{\circ}+90^{\circ}$
$=180^{\circ}$
Therefore, two right angles form a supplementary pair.
