Answer

68 degrees

Step-by-step explanation

If one angle has a measure of 22 degrees, the measure of its complement angle will be (90 - 22) = 68 degrees. The reason is because complement angles add up to 90 degrees.

That is:

22 degrees + x = 90 degrees

x = 90 degrees - 22 degrees

x = 68 degrees.

Where x is the measure of the complement angle.
