Final answer:

After evaluating each pair of angle measurements provided, only option C (mZW= 47° and mZY= 140°) represents a possible pair of measurements from congruent figures.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about congruent figures in mathematics and specifically about angles in these figures. Congruent figures are those that are the same shape and size, with their corresponding angles and sides equal. Looking at the provided options for angle measurements, we need to find a pair that could represent angles from congruent figures. Option A (mZW= 47° and mZX = 940°) is not possible since angles in a figure cannot exceed 360°. Option B (mZX=94° and mzZ= 790°) is also not possible for the same reason. Option C (mZW= 47° and mZY= 140°) could represent congruent angles if they are corresponding angles in different figures. Option D (mZX-140° and mZY - 940°) again exceeds the limit for angle measurements in a figure. Therefore, the only possible pair of measurements from congruent figures is option C (mZW= 47° and mZY= 140°).
