Answer:

b = 50°

c = 130°

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles A and B are complementary if:

A + B = 90°

And two angles are supplementary if:

A + B = 180°

Then, we know that:

a = 40°

b is a complement of a (this means that a and b are complementary angles)

c is a supplement of b (this means that b and c are supplementary angles).

From the first statement, we have that:

b + a = 90°

Replacing the value of a we get

b + 40° = 90°

b = 90° - 40° = 50°

b = 50°

And now we can use that b and c are supplementary, then:

b + c = 180°

replacing the value of b we get:

50° + c  = 180°

c = 180° - 50° = 130°

c = 130°

Then the values we wanted are:

b = 50°

c = 130°
