Answer:

The measure of one angle is 113.6^o, and the measure of the other one is 66.4^o

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that supplementary angles are those whose addition renders 180^o

We need to find the measure of two such angles whose difference is precisely 47.2^o.

Let's call such angles x and y, and consider that angle x is larger than angle y, so we can setup the following system of equations:

x+y=180^o\\x-y=47.2^o

We can now solve this by simply combining term by term both equations, thus  cancelling the term in "y", and solving first for "x":

x+y=180^o\\x-y=47.2^o\\\\2x=180^o+47.2^o\\2x=227.2^o\\x=113.6^o

So, now we have the answer for one of the angles (x), and can use either equation from the system to find the measure of angle "y":

y=180^o-x\\y=180^o-113.6^o\\y=66.4^o
