Yes, every right triangle has two complementary angles.

This is because you know that the interior angles of a triangle have to add up to 180 degrees.

A right angle is 90 degrees, so the remaining two angles have to add up to (180-90) degrees, or 90 degrees.

Two angles whose sum is 90 degrees are complementary.
