Math Problem Statement

Find the measure of angle ∠AGE in the figure below. Enter only the number.

Solution

In this figure, we are asked to find the measure of angle AGE\angle AGE.

Here's the reasoning:

  • CGF\angle CGF is given as 5151^\circ.
  • AGE\angle AGE and CGF\angle CGF are vertical angles (since they are formed by intersecting lines), and vertical angles are congruent.
  • Therefore, the measure of AGE=CGF=51\angle AGE = \angle CGF = 51^\circ.

Thus, the solution is:

51\boxed{51}

Tip:

Always remember that vertical angles are congruent, which simplifies many angle-finding problems when lines intersect.
