To find the complement of an angle, subtract from 90 degrees.

90-26=64 degrees

P.S. As a follow-up question, If a jetliner is flying 72 degrees north of east, and the tower orders it to change course by turning 7 degrees to the right. Describe the course in terms of how many degrees north of east the plane is flying.

ANSWER: Draw a picture showing North straight up and East to the right. Then, since the jetliner is flying 72 degrees North of East, and it turns 7 degrees to the right, you have to subtract 72-7 = 65 degrees north of east.
