Complement means the two must add up to 90
so 90-40 = 50 as required.
Hope this helps!

the complement to 40 degrees is 50 degrees. complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. 90-40 = 50

Angles that complement each other add up to 90°
So, if your angle is 40°, the angle that complements it is 50°

A pair of angles is complementary if the sum of their measures add up to 90 degrees.
