Math Problem Statement

Triangle I is a scaled copy of triangle H. What is the value of g?

Solution

To solve the problem, let’s break it down:

Given:

  • Triangle II is a scaled copy of triangle HH.
  • Corresponding angles between the triangles remain equal because they are scaled copies, so gg^\circ in triangle II equals the corresponding angle in triangle HH, which is 3737^\circ.

Answer:

The value of gg is 37.
