what is the complement to an angle that measures 71 degrees?
if two angles are "complement" the sum is 90 degrees
Let x = complement to the angle
then
71+x = 90
x = 90-71
x = 19 degrees (answer)

The complement of the angle is given to be (90 degrees - x), where x represents 71 degrees.
So, 90 - 71 = 19 degrees.
You see, when we add 19 and 71, we get 90. Two angles are complement when their sum is 90 degrees.
