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?

From the given information, we know that angle LKJ and angle GHI are complementary angles.
Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
Since angle LKJ measures 34 degrees, the angle measure of GHI can be found by subtracting 34 degrees from 90 degrees.
90 degrees - 34 degrees = 56 degrees
Therefore, the angle measure of angle GHI is 56 degrees.
