Answer: 54°

Step-by-step explanation: If two angles are complementary, then the sum of their measures is 90 degrees.

If the measure of an angle is 36°, then

the measure of its complement is 54°.

We can find the measure of its complement by taking 90 minus the measure of the original angle which in this case is 90 - 36 or 54°.
