Is a supplement of a acute angle always obtuse? What if one angle is 30 and the other is 170?

Yes because if an acute angle is less than 90, then its supplement (the angle that when added to another angle equals to 180°) has to be greater than 90° but less than 180° ( which is basically the definition of an obtuse angle)

A 30° angle is an acute angle and a 170° angle is obtuse but they are not supplementary angles because they do not add up to 180°

I hope this helps you :)
