Find the measure *x* of an angle that is complementary to a 57° angle.

Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is \(90^\circ\). 

If one of the angles is \(57^\circ\), then the measure of the complementary angle \(x\) can be found using the equation:

\[
x + 57^\circ = 90^\circ
\]

To solve for \(x\):

\[
x = 90^\circ - 57^\circ
\]
\[
x = 33^\circ
\]

So, the measure of the angle \(x\) is \(33^\circ\).
