submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the angle type

The diagram shows a right angle (90°) split into two angles: 47° and \( a \).

Step2: Use angle sum property

For a right angle, the sum of the two angles is 90°. So, \( 47^\circ + a = 90^\circ \).

Step3: Solve for \( a \)

Subtract 47° from 90°: \( a = 90^\circ - 47^\circ = 43^\circ \).

Answer:

\( 43 \)
