To determine the measure of the third angle in the triangle, we can use the fact that the sum of all angles in a triangle is always \(180^\circ\).

Given:
- First angle: \(140^\circ\)
- Second angle: \(23^\circ\)

Let's denote the third angle as \(x\).

The equation we need to solve is:
\[
140^\circ + 23^\circ + x = 180^\circ
\]

Now, solve for \(x\):

\[
x = 180^\circ - (140^\circ + 23^\circ)
\]
\[
x = 180^\circ - 163^\circ = 17^\circ
\]

So, the measure of the third angle is \(17^\circ\).
