Question

find the measure of the missing angle. answer attempt 1 out of 2 a =

Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle - sum property

The two angles are complementary, and the sum of complementary angles is $90^{\circ}$. Let the missing angle be $a$. We have the equation $a + 36^{\circ}=90^{\circ}$.

Step2: Solve for the missing angle

Subtract $36^{\circ}$ from both sides of the equation: $a=90^{\circ}- 36^{\circ}=54^{\circ}$.

Answer:

$54^{\circ}$
