Answer:

86°

Explanation:

If you draw a line segment AC, it forms the rest of right triangle ACB with the right angle at C. Then angle BAC is the complement of the given angle:

∠BAC = 90° -47° = 43°

The inscribed angle BAC intercepts arc BC, so the arc measure will be double the angle measure.

arc BC = 2·43° = 86°

__

Another way to get there is to realize that arc BCA is 180°, because AB is a diameter. As above, arc AC will be double the measure of inscribed angle ABC, so arc AC has measure 94°.

arc BC = arc ACB - arc AC

arc BC = 180° -94°

arc BC = 86°
