Let ma=40 degrees . if b is a complement of a and c is a supplement of b find the measures

Hello!

Complementary angles mean they add to 90

Since a and b are complementary we can use the equation

a + b = 90

Put in the values you know

40 + b = 90

Subtract 40 from both sides

b = 50

supplementary means they add to 180

Since B and C are supplementary we can use the equation

B + C = 180

Put in the values you know

50 + c = 180

subtract 180 from both sides

c = 130

The answers are b = 50 and c = 130

Hope this helps!

The second and fourth answer are correct
