Math Problem Statement

use measure of arcs and central angles concept and solve( Use radii as well)

Find the measure of the angle \( m \angle JFK \) using the concept of arcs and central angles.

Solution

To solve this geometry problem involving the circle and its central angles, let's analyze the given information from the image:

Step 1: Understand the Problem

We are asked to find the measure of the angle mJFKm \angle JFK.

Step 2: Analyze the Given Data

  • mGFI=45m \angle GFI = 45^\circ (angle from points GG to II passing through center FF).
  • mHFI=83m \angle HFI = 83^\circ (angle from points HH to II passing through center FF).
  • We are to assume that lines appearing to be diameters are indeed diameters.

Step 3: Use Properties of the Circle

  • A diameter divides the circle into two semicircles, each measuring 180180^\circ.
  • Since angles GFI\angle GFI and HFI\angle HFI are given as central angles, they represent the measures of their corresponding arcs on the circle.

Step 4: Calculate mJFKm \angle JFK

  • The total measure of all angles around point FF is 360360^\circ.
  • The central angles given sum up to: 45+83=12845^\circ + 83^\circ = 128^\circ
  • The remaining angle around point FF can be found by subtracting the sum of the given angles from 360360^\circ: 360128=232360^\circ - 128^\circ = 232^\circ
  • Therefore, mJFK=232m \angle JFK = 232^\circ.

Conclusion

The measure of the angle mJFKm \angle JFK is: 232\boxed{232^\circ}
