Should complementary & supplementary angles be adjacent?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

as long as two angles add to 90 degrees, they are complementary angles they don't need to be adjacent

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the same can be said for supplementary angles as well (just change 90 to 180)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

example |dw:1376723577590:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the two angles that aren't the right angle add to 90 degrees but they aren't adjacent angles (they don't share a common vertex point)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so these two angles below |dw:1376723678936:dw| are complementary but they aren't adjacent
