find the complement of an angle with a measure 72 degrees

a162 degrees
b 18 degrees
c 252 degrees
d 108 degrees

d 108 degrees

To find the complement of an angle, you subtract the measure of the angle from 90 degrees.

Given that the angle has a measure of 72 degrees, we can find its complement by subtracting 72 from 90:

90 degrees - 72 degrees = 18 degrees

Therefore, the complement of an angle with a measure of 72 degrees is option b) 18 degrees.
