Answer 1

To find the complement of an angle, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Complement} = 90^\circ - \text{angle} \]

Given that the angle is 82°, you calculate its complement as follows:

\[ \text{Complement} = 90^\circ - 82^\circ = 8^\circ \]

Therefore, the angle that is the complement of 82° measures 8°.
