Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90 degrees.
If one angle measures 56 degrees and we let \( x \) represent the measure of the other angle, we can write the equation:
\[
x + 56 = 90
\]
To find the measure of the other angle \( x \), we can solve this equation:
\[
x = 90 - 56
\]
\[
x = 34
\]
Therefore, the measure of the other angle is \( 34 \) degrees.
