they are not identical because there are different base sequences on each dna strand.
e.g.
A T G G T A C C C C A A T T T G C A T
T A C C A T G G G G T T A A A C G T A
above example represents two dna strand that u can obviously see are not identical with each other like upper one is starting with A while lower one with T so they are not identical. But they are complementary. what complementary mean here is that there is always a fixed base opposite to one like there will always be A with T and G with C . there is no possibilities that G joins with T somehow. So they will be complementary to each other.
if possible try to link up ur maths concept of complementary angle in this u will get easily understood
