Answer:33.7°

Explanation:

To find the complement of an angle, subtract that angle's measurement from 90 degrees. The result will be the complement

Answer:

33.7

Explanation:

Complementary angles are angles that when added, sum up to 90*

First, make the equation, x being the missing angle
90*= x + 56.3

Rewrite the equation to find the missing angle
90 - 56.3 = x

x= 33.7
