Given:


\Delta MAT\cong \Delta MHT and
m\angle 2=82^\circ.

To find:

Whether
m\angle 1=47^\circ is possible or not.

Solution:

We have,


\Delta MAT\cong \Delta MHT


\angle AMT\cong \angle HMT (CPCTC)


m\angle 3=m\angle 8 ...(i)

And,


m\angle 1=m\angle 8 ...(ii) (Vertically opposite angles)

From (i) and (ii), we get


m\angle 1=m\angle 3 ...(iii)

Now,


m\angle 1+m\angle 2+m\angle 3=180^\circ (Linear pair)


m\angle 1+82^\circ+m\angle 1=180^\circ (Using (iii))


2m\angle 1=180^\circ-82^\circ


2m\angle 1=98^\circ

Divide both sides by 2.


m\angle 1=(98^\circ)/(2)


m\angle 1=49^\circ

The measure of angle 1 is 49 degrees so it cannot be equal to 47 degrees.

Therefore, the required answer is "no", the given statement
m\angle 1=47^\circ is not possible.
