Two angles are complementary if the sum of the measures of the two angles is 90 degrees. In other words:
measure(angle 1) + measure(angle 2) = 90
We know that the measure of angle 2 is 8 degrees, so we substitute into the equation and solve:
measure(angle 1) + 8 = 90
measure(angle 1) = 82 (subtracting 8 from both sides)
So angle 1 measures 82 degrees.
