Math Problem Statement

What is an angle that is supplementary to ∠EGF?

Solution

The question asks for an angle that is supplementary to EGF\angle EGF.

  • EGF\angle EGF is the angle formed by the lines EGEG and FGFG, so this is the angle at point GG between the lines EE and FF.
  • Two angles are supplementary if their measures add up to 180 degrees.
  • From the diagram, we can see that EGF\angle EGF and BGF\angle BGF form a straight line, meaning they are adjacent and supplementary.

Thus, the angle that is supplementary to EGF\angle EGF is BGF\angle BGF.

  2. How do you find vertical angles in this diagram?
  3. What is the sum of all angles around point GG?
  4. How do you identify adjacent angles in this diagram?
  5. What is the measure of BGF\angle BGF if EGF\angle EGF is 70°?

Tip: Supplementary angles always form a straight line or 180°.
