Question

the measure of an angle is 36.7°. what is the measure of its complementary angle?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall complementary - angle definition

Complementary angles add up to $90^{\circ}$.

Step2: Set up the subtraction

Let the given angle be $\theta = 36.7^{\circ}$. The complementary angle $\alpha=90^{\circ}-\theta$.

Step3: Calculate the complementary angle

$\alpha = 90 - 36.7=53.3^{\circ}$

Answer:

$53.3^{\circ}$
