Let the measure of the angle be x degrees. The complement of the angle will be (90 - x) degrees.
According to the given information:
x = (90 - x) - 78
x = 90 - x - 78
x = 12
Therefore, the measure of the angle is 12°.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
12°
According to the given information:
x = (90 - x) - 78
x = 90 - x - 78
x = 12
