Math Problem Statement

If FH bisects ∠EFG, and if m∠HFG = 18, then find m∠EFG.

Solution

We are given that FH\overrightarrow{FH} bisects EFG\angle EFG, and that the measure of HFG=18\angle HFG = 18^\circ. Since FH\overrightarrow{FH} bisects EFG\angle EFG, it divides the angle into two equal parts.

Thus, mEFG=2×mHFGm \angle EFG = 2 \times m \angle HFG.

Given that mHFG=18m \angle HFG = 18^\circ, we can calculate mEFGm \angle EFG as follows:

mEFG=2×18=36m \angle EFG = 2 \times 18^\circ = 36^\circ

Therefore, the measure of EFG\angle EFG is 3636^\circ.
