The antecedent of your assertion is moot. If an angle is other than acute, it cannot, by definition have a complement. So if the angle has a complement, then it must be acute, and the complement must be acute as well since the sum of the two angles' measures must be 90 degrees. Furthermore, if an angle is acute, its supplement must be obtuse.
