Answer:

The other angle is 33

Explanation:

Complementary angles add to 90

57+x = 90

subtract 57 from each side

x = 90-57

x = 33

Answer:

33°

Explanation:

Complementary angles are two angles that, when added together, result in a 90° angle.

If we know the measure of one of these angles, we can easily find the measure of the other. Let's assume x is the missing angle length.


57 + x = 90


x = 90-57\\\\x = 33

So x is 33°.

Hope this helped!
