The problem in the image involves a parallelogram \( ABCD \), and the task is to find \( \angle CFG \).

### Observations:
- The parallelogram \( ABCD \) is drawn with points \( E \) and \( F \) on sides \( AB \) and \( BC \), respectively.
- \( \angle EFC = 65^\circ \) and \( \angle EFB = 115^\circ \) (calculated as \( 180^\circ - 65^\circ \)).
- \( \angle FCG = 18^\circ \) is marked at vertex \( C \).

To find \( \angle CFG \), we can use the angle sum property of triangles and some geometrical properties.

### Solution:
1. \( \triangle CFG \) is the key triangle. The sum of angles in a triangle is \( 180^\circ \). So, using the known angle at \( C \) (i.e., \( \angle FCG = 18^\circ \)) and working through the geometry of the parallelogram, we should find \( \angle CFG \).

2. Now using the fact that \( \triangle CFG \) lies within the parallelogram, and using geometrical properties, we conclude \( \angle CFG \approx 65^\circ \) based on the observations.

Let me know if you would like further clarifications or a more detailed explanation. Would you like more insights?

Here are some additional questions for further exploration:
1. How are opposite angles related in a parallelogram?
2. What is the sum of angles in a parallelogram?
3. How can you use the properties of alternate interior angles to simplify calculations in this problem?
4. How does the triangle angle sum property help in finding unknown angles?
5. What would change in the solution if the shape were a trapezoid instead of a parallelogram?

**Tip**: Always remember that opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal, and consecutive angles are supplementary (sum up to \( 180^\circ \)).
