To solve for the measure of angle \( a \) given that angle \( a \) and angle \( e \) are complementary angles, we can use the information provided. Complementary angles sum up to \( 90^\circ \).
Given the equation \( a + 35^\circ = 90^\circ \):
1. Subtract \( 35^\circ \) from both sides:
\[
a = 90^\circ - 35^\circ
\]
2. Calculate the result:
\[
a = 55^\circ
\]
Therefore, the measure of angle \( a \) is \( 55^\circ \).
