By definition, the complementary angles are those that have a sum of 90° (Right angle).

The problem indicates that Constitution Avenue meets Pennsylvania Avenue at a 25° angle. Then, the complementary angle is:

Complementary angle=90°-25°
Complementary angle=65°

What is the measure of the complementary angle to the angle formed by these two avenues?

The answer is: T
he measure of the complementary angle to the angle formed by these two avenues is 65°.
