An illustration shows two non-adjacent angles, with angle J K L measuring 34 degrees and angle G H I measuring x degrees. Ray K L is vertical, and ray H I is horizontal.

If ∠LKJ and ∠GHI are complementary angles, what is the angle measure of ∠GHI ?

If ∠LKJ and ∠GHI are complementary angles, it means their measures add up to 90 degrees. Given that ∠LKJ measures 34 degrees, we can subtract this from 90 to find the measure of ∠GHI.

90 - 34 = 56

Therefore, the angle measure of ∠GHI is 56 degrees.
