Question

if you add two obtuse angles do they sometimes make supplamentary angles?

Answer 1

Answer:

No, they can NEVER make supplementary angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are supplementary when they add to 180 degrees. Since two obtuse angles have their angles greater than 90 degrees, they can never be supplementary. Let's take the angles as 91 degrees (the lowest whole obtuse measure). 91 + 91 = 182, which is more than 180.

Therefore, the answer is no.

Answer 2

Answer:

Adding two obtuse angles can never make supplementary angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

An obtuse angle has a measure of greater than 90°, and less than 180°.  

Supplementary angles are two angles whose sum add up to 180°.

We must determine whether adding two obtuse angles can make them supplementary angles through the following example.

Example:

Suppose that we have two obtuse angles:

m ∠ 1 = 90.1°

m∠ 2 = 90.1°

Let us add these two obtuse angles together to determine whether their sum is at most 180°.

m ∠ 1 + m ∠ 2 = ?

90.1° + 90.1° = 180.2°

Since their sum is greater than 180°, then it means that they are not supplements.

Conclusion:

Adding two obtuse angles will have a sum of greater than 180°, thus making them invalid as supplementary angles.
