To find the measure of the other angle that is complementary to the given angle of 35°, you can use the fact that complementary angles add up to 90°.

Let the other angle be \( x \). Then, you can set up the equation:

\[ 35° + x = 90° \]

To find \( x \), subtract 35° from both sides:

\[ x = 90° - 35° \] \[ x = 55° \]

So, the other angle measures 55 degrees.
