This is an RNA strand... 
 
The complimentary base is as follows:
 
A gets U
C gets G
G gets C
U gets A
 
So... AUGUCGAUCACCAUUGAAGGUAGACUG  complimentary base should be:
 
UACAGCUAGUGGUAACUUCCAUCUGAC.
 
Good luck!

If your want to "use" this RNA you need to keep track of the ends
DNA & RNA sequences are written 5' -> 3' so the complement of   
5' AUGUCGAUCACCAUUGAAGGUAGACUG 3' would be written as
5' CAGUCUACCUUCAAUGGUGAUCGACAU 3'
