Answer:

The measure of the angle is 11 and its complement is 79 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, when two angles are complementary, the sum of the angles equal 90 degrees

so now, if the first angle is x , the second angle which is increased by 68 degrees will be x + 68

So now if we add these two, the value we will get is 90 degrees

Mathematically, we have this as;

x + x + 68 = 90

2x + 68 = 90

2x = 90-68

2x = 22

x = 22/2

x = 11

the measure of the angle is 11 and its complement will be 11 + 68 = 79
