Answer:

The correct statements are:

1: mEFD = mEGD

3: mED = mFD

5: mFD = 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's analyse each statement:

1: mEFD = mEGD

Let's find the value of the angle ECD, using the sum of the internal angles of a quadrilateral:

[tex]60 + 90 + 90 + mECD = 360[/tex]

[tex]mECD = 120\°[/tex]

The angle ECD is a central angle, related to the arc ED, so the arc ED also has 120°.

The angle EFD inscribes the arc ED, so we have:

[tex]mEFD = mED/2[/tex]

[tex]mEFD = 120/2 = 60\°[/tex]

So the angles mEFD and mEGD are equal. The statement is TRUE.

2. mEGD = mECD

This statement is FALSE, because mEGD = 60° and mECD = 120°

3. mED = mFD

If mED is 120° and mEF = mFD, we have:

[tex]mED + mEF + mFD = 360[/tex]

[tex]2*mFD = 360 - 120[/tex]

[tex]mFD = 120\°[/tex]

So the statement is TRUE, both arcs have 120°.

4. mEF = 60°

This statement is FALSE, because we calculated before that mEF = mFD = 120°

5. mFD = 120°

This statemente is TRUE, because we calculated before that mFD = 120°.

So the correct statements are 1, 3 and 5

The true statements are: [tex]\angle EFD =\angle EGD[/tex], [tex]\overset{\huge\frown}{FD} = \overset{\huge\frown}{ED}[/tex] and [tex]\overset{\huge\frown}{FD} =120[/tex]

Start by calculating the measure of angle ECD.

We have:

[tex]\angle ECD = 2 * \angle EGD[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\angle ECD = 2 * 60[/tex]

[tex]\angle ECD = 120[/tex]

The above means that:

[tex]\overset{\huge\frown}{ED} = 120[/tex]

So, the measure of angle EFD is:

[tex]\angle EFD = 0.5 * \overset{\huge\frown}{ED}[/tex]

[tex]\angle EFD = 0.5 * 120[/tex]

[tex]\angle EFD = 60[/tex]

From the question, we have:

[tex]\angle EGD = 60[/tex]

So, it is true that:

[tex]\angle EFD =\angle EGD[/tex]

To calculate the measure of arc FD, we have:

[tex]\overset{\huge\frown}{FD} + \overset{\huge\frown}{DE} + \overset{\huge\frown}{EF} =360[/tex]

Lengths EF and DE are congruent.

So, we have:

[tex]2\overset{\huge\frown}{FD} + \overset{\huge\frown}{DE} =360[/tex]

[tex]\overset{\huge\frown}{DE} = \overset{\huge\frown}{ED} = 120[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]2\overset{\huge\frown}{FD} + 120 =360[/tex]

Divide through by 2

[tex]\overset{\huge\frown}{FD} + 60 =180[/tex]

Subtract 60 from both sides

[tex]\overset{\huge\frown}{FD} =120[/tex]

This means that:

[tex]\overset{\huge\frown}{FD} = \overset{\huge\frown}{ED}[/tex] and [tex]\overset{\huge\frown}{FD} =120[/tex] are true

Hence, the true statements are: [tex]\angle EFD =\angle EGD[/tex], [tex]\overset{\huge\frown}{FD} = \overset{\huge\frown}{ED}[/tex] and [tex]\overset{\huge\frown}{FD} =120[/tex]
