Julie Bridges · Answer 1

Complementary angles have a sum of 90°. Your equation is 27° + x = 90.° Simply reverse the equation to 90° - 27° to get 63°. The other angle has a measure of 63°.

Alannah Trevino · Answer 2

Complementary means the two angles equal 90°, so 27°+x=90° or you could do 90-27 = 63°. So the other angle measures 63°.
