Final answer:

Complementary angles are pairs of angles that add up to 90 degrees and form a right angle when combined.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles are pairs of angles that add up to 90 degrees. They form a right angle when combined.

For example, if one angle measures 30 degrees, the other angle in the pair would measure 60 degrees because 30 + 60 = 90.

On the other hand, angles that exceed 90 degrees do not sum up to 90 degrees and are not complementary.
