Find the measure of an angle if the measure of is complement is 53 degrees.

Step 1. Complementary angles means two angles add up to 90 degrees.

Step 2. Let x be the angle.

Step 3. Let 90-x be its complement.

Step 4. Given 90-x=53 or x=90-53=37.

Step 5. ANSWER: The angle is 37 degrees.

I hope the above steps were helpful.

If these are two complemental angles then:
x+43=90
x=90-43
x=47 is the other complemental angle.
