Verified step by step guidance1
Recall that complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees.
Let the given angle be \( 35^\circ \). We need to find the angle \( x \) such that \( 35^\circ + x = 90^\circ \).
Set up the equation: \( x = 90^\circ - 35^\circ \).
Subtract the given angle from 90 degrees to find the complementary angle: \( x = 55^\circ \).
Therefore, the angle complementary to \( 35^\circ \) is \( 55^\circ \).
