According to the definition, two angles are said to be complementary is the sum of their measure is 90 degrees.


m\text{Angle 1}+m\text{Angle 2}=90^(\circ)

Given that angle 1 measures 'x' degrees,


x^(\circ)+mAngle2=90^(\circ)\Rightarrow mAngle2=90^{\circ^{}}-x^(\circ)

Thus, the measure of angle 2 is obtained in terms of 'x'.
