Recall that two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90 degrees. This means we have the equation \(a + b = 90\).
You are given that angle \(a\) is 34 degrees, so substitute this value into the equation: \(34 + b = 90\).
To find \(b\), isolate it on one side of the equation by subtracting 34 from both sides: \(b = 90 - 34\).
Simplify the right side of the equation to express \(b\) in terms of a numerical value (do not calculate the final number here).
The result will give you the measure of angle \(b\) in degrees, which is the complement of angle \(a\).
