Let thee interior angle in the triangle at the same point as 140 degrees be T

T + 140 = 180 (sum of angles on a straight line)

T = 180 -140

T = 40

Let the interior angle in the triangle at the same point as 90 degrees be S

S + 90 = 180 (sum of angles on a straight line)

S = 180 -90

= 90

P + 40 + 90 = 180 (sum of angles in a triangle)

P + 130 = 180

P = 180 - 130

P = 50
