If two angles are acute, then they are supplementary. True or false? And explain

Sometimes true. It is true unless both the angles are right angles.

If two angles are acute, then they are supplementary. FALSE

Example:
We have ∠A = 25°
∠B = 63°

Then,
∠A + ∠B = 25° + 63° = 88°

Now, we know supplementary angles are the angles that add up to 180°. But in this case, the two ACUTE angles don't add up to 180°. So, this supports that the statement above is false!
