complement of an angle = 90 - other angle
c=90-24=66
the complement =66,24

the measure of the complement of an angle exceeds the measure of the angle by 24 degrees. Find the degree measure of th angle.

Let the angle be A

Then the angle's complement = 90 - A

Based on the given info., 90 - A = A + 24

- A - A = 24 - 90

- 2A = - 66

A, or angle measures %28-+66%29%2F-+2, or highlight_green%2833%5Eo%29
