Is it possible for an acute angle and obtuse angle to create complementary angles?

I’d say no because a complementary angle is 2 or more angles with a sum of 90 degrees [tip for differentiating supplementary and complementary angles: complementary (c) comes first in the alphabet (this is 90 degrees) and supplementary (s) comes later (this is 180 degrees. 180 comes later in counting] Anyway, an obtuse angle is more than 90 degrees which already can’t be a sum. (I’m not 100% sure but I hope this helps!)
