Two angles are called complementary when their measures add to 90 degrees

Let the two angles are x and y


x\text{ + y =90}

one angle is given , x = 16

substitute the value of x=16 and solve for y


\begin{gathered} x+y=90 \\ 16+y=90_{} \\ y=90-16 \\ y=74 \end{gathered}

So, the measure of another angle is 74 degree which makes angle 16 to complementary angles

Answer : Measure of complementary angle = 74 degree
