The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. Since we already have two angles, we can simply add them together, and then subtract the sum from 180. 
37° + 46° = 83°
Now, subtract 83 from 180. 
180° - 83° = 97° 
So, the answer is C. 97 degrees (: 
Does that help? For future problems like this, always remember that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees! Only 3 angles in a triangle, so those three should always equal 180.
