Answer:


m\angle B = 50^\circ


m\angle C = 130^\circ

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:


m\angle A = 40^\circ

Angle B is a complement of Angle A. Thus, we can write:


\angle A + \angle B = 90^\circ\\\angle B = 90 - m\angle A\\\angle B = 90 - 40 = 50\\m\angle B = 50^\circ

Angle C is a supplement of Angle B. Thus, we can write:


\angle C + \angle B = 180^\circ\\\angle C = 180 - m\angle B\\\angle C = 180 - 50 = 130\\m\angle C = 130^\circ
