Ok, so it's the two angles you measure.

So say the object is at a 40 degree tilt.

That means that there is a second angle of 50 degrees that makes up the full 90 degree angle.

So if a door opens only to 90 degrees from shut, whenever you open it you create two corresponding angles with an inverse relationship.

Call them x and y.

Door shut, x is zero and y is 90.

Open, x is 90 and y is zero.

If you open it perfectly halfway, both are 45.

I can't really tell you which is which in the question with the info provided.
