Answer:

133°

Explanation:

they form 180° together, so 180-47=133°

Explanation:

Since we know that as the angles are in linear pair then their sum equals to 180°

Given

One angle = 47°

Let the other angle be x then

x + 47° = 180° {being linear pair }

x = 180° - 47°

Therefore x = 133°

The measure of the other angle is 133°

Hope it will help :)❤
