ANSWER:
50°
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
We can calculate the value of the missing angle, since there is a right angle (that is, 90°) and the other is 40 °, we apply the property that says that the sum of all the internal angles of a triangle is equal to 180°, Thus:
[tex]180=90+40+x[/tex]Solving for x:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=180-90-40 \\ x=50\text{\degree} \end{gathered}[/tex]
