Answer:

∠b = 68°

Explanation:

Complementary angles are a pair of angles that, added together, equal 90°.

If ∠a = 22°, then the measure of∠b must equal 90° when added to that of ∠a.

To find the measure of ∠b, then, we can subtract ∠a from 90°.

90 - 22 = 68

The measure of ∠b, then, is 68°.

I hope this is helpful ^^

Good luck
