To find the complement of an angle, subtract the angle from 90 degrees. So, 90 - 68 = 22.
Therefore, the measure of the angle is 22°.
To find the measure of the angle, we need to remember that the complement of an angle is 90° minus the angle itself.
Let's call the measure of the angle x.
According to the problem, the complement of x is 68°.
So, we can set up the equation:
90° - x = 68°
Now, we can solve for x by subtracting 68° from both sides of the equation:
90° - 68° = x
Simplifying, we get:
22° = x
Therefore, the measure of the angle is 22°.
