Math Problem Statement
Solution
In the provided diagram, the line segment GH bisects the angle ∠FGL. The two angles formed are expressed as:
- ∠FGH =
- ∠HGI =
Since GH bisects ∠FGL, these two angles should be equal. We can set up an equation to solve for :
Step 1: Solve for
-
Subtract from both sides:
-
Add 5 to both sides:
So, .
Step 2: Find m∠FGH
Substitute into the expression for m∠FGH:
Since GH bisects ∠FGL, m∠HGI is also 35°.
Step 3: Find m∠FGL
Since ∠FGL consists of both ∠FGH and ∠HGI, we add these angles together:
