Answer: Neither

To be complementary, the angles need to add to 90 degrees. But 55+45 = 100, so the angles are not complementary.

The angles are not adjacent either. Adjacent angles share a common line, line segment or ray. There cannot be a gap between the angles if you want adjacent angles. Think of adjacent rooms in a house in that they share the same wall.
