Supplement: #pi-2approx 1.14159#.
Complement: #pi/2-2approx -0.4292.# (See explanation.)

Explanation:

The supplement of an angle #x# is #pi-x#, so the supplement of #2# is #pi-2approx 1.14159#.

The complement of an angle #x# is #pi/2-x#, so the supplement of #2# is #pi/2-2 approx -0.4292#. This value is actually negative, so depending on the context of the problem, some might say the complement doesn't exist.
