x = angle
\n" ); document.write( "90-x = complement of angle.
\n" ); document.write( "180-x = supplement of angle.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "90-x = 50 (given)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 40
\n" ); document.write( "180-40 = 140
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "angle = 40
\n" ); document.write( "complement of angle = 50 (40 + 50 = 90)
\n" ); document.write( "supplement of angle = 140 (40 + 140 = 180)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "
