The complement of an angle is what, when added to it, equals 90º degrees.
in your problem, 90-44=46º. This means that the complement of 44º is 46º, since they add up to equal 90º--a right angle

The supplement of an angle is the same thing as a complement, except that it adds up to 180º; that's a straight line.
so, 180-44=136º =>this means that the supplement of 44º is 136º, since they add up to equal 180º
