Answer

**(a) Finding the Complement:**<br /><br />* **Definition of Complementary Angles:** Two angles are complementary if their sum is 90°.<br />* **Calculation:** 90° - 47° = 43°<br /><br />**Measure of the complement: 43°**<br /><br />**(b) Finding the Supplement:**<br /><br />* **Definition of Supplementary Angles:** Two angles are supplementary if their sum is 180°.<br />* **Calculation:** 180° - 83° = 97°<br /><br />**Measure of the supplement: 97°**<br />
