Supplementary angles are those which sum is 180º.
Acute angles are angles that measure between 0º and 90º.
Obtuse angles are angles that measure between 90º and 180º.
That accounts for most of the solutions, but there is a case they've forgot: two right angles (90º+90º)

YES GENERALLY THAT IS TRUE. HOWEVER THERE IS A CASE WHERE THE 2 ANGLES EQUAL
90 DEGREES.
