Content:
Two angles are called {\em supplementary angles}\, of each other, if their sum is equal to the straight angle $\pi$, i.e. $180^\circ$.
For example, when two lines intersect each other, they divide the plane into four disjoint domains corresponding four convex angles; then any of these angles has on its both sides its supplementary angle (see linear pair). However, an angle and its supplementary angle do not need to have a common side --- see e.g. \PMlinkname{this entry}{OpposingAnglesInACyclicQuadrilateralAreSupplementary}.
