1. **State the problem:** We are given a triangle with two known angles: 42° and 47°, and we need to find the measure of the third angle, labeled as $m\angle 1$.
2. **Recall the triangle angle sum rule:** The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is always 180°. This means:
$$m\angle 1 + 42^\circ + 47^\circ = 180^\circ$$
3. **Set up the equation:**
$$m\angle 1 = 180^\circ - 42^\circ - 47^\circ$$
4. **Calculate:**
$$m\angle 1 = 180^\circ - 89^\circ = 91^\circ$$
5. **Conclusion:** The measure of angle 1 is $91^\circ$.
This is because the sum of all angles in a triangle must be 180°, so subtracting the known angles from 180° gives the unknown angle.
