Answer:

53

Explanation:

When two angles are complementary, it means that the sum of their measures is 90 degrees. Let's denote one angle as
x (measuring 37 degrees) and the other angle as
y.

So, we have:


x + y = 90

We're given that
x measures 37 degrees, so we can substitute this value into the equation:


37 + y = 90

Now, we can solve for
y by isolating it on one side of the equation:


y = 90 - 37


y = 53

So, we find that the measure of the other angle
y is 53 degrees.
