1. Two angles are complementary if their sum is $$90^{\circ}$$.

2. Let the measure of the complementary angle be $$ x $$. Then,
   $$
   31^{\circ} + x = 90^{\circ}
   $$

3. To solve for $$ x $$, subtract $$ 31^{\circ} $$ from both sides:
   $$
   x = 90^{\circ} - 31^{\circ}
   $$

4. Compute:
   $$
   x = 59^{\circ}
   $$

Thus, the measure of the complementary angle is $$ 59^{\circ} $$.
The complementary angle is $$ 59^{\circ} $$.
