To find the measure of the third angle we must use the next statement:

We have two angles so we can represent the situation with a equation


109.7+47.1+x=180

Where x is the third angle.

Now, we must solve the equation for x


\begin{gathered} x=180-109.7-47.1 \\ x=23.2 \end{gathered}

Finally, the measure of the third angle is 23.2

Letter A.
