Two angles are complementary if their sum is 90 degrees
Therefore, to get a complement of 54 1/2 degrees, we will have to subtract it from 90 degrees
Let the complement of 54 1/2 be represented by x
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=90-54\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ x=90-\frac{109}{2} \\ \\ x=\frac{180-109}{2} \\ \\ x=\frac{71}{2} \\ \\ x=35\frac{1}{2}\text{ degrees} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the complement of angle 54 1/2 degrees is angle 35 1/2 degrees
