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

Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle - sum property

The two angles are complementary (form a right - angle), and the sum of complementary angles is 90°.
Let the missing angle be $a$. We have the equation $a + 54^{\circ}=90^{\circ}$.

Step2: Solve for the missing angle

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

Answer:

$36^{\circ}$
