Answer:
∠EFH = 21°
∠HFG = 62°
∠EFG = 83°
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram showing the angles has been attached to this response.
From the diagram, it can be deduced that;
Angle EFG = angle EFH + angle HFG
=> ∠EFG = ∠EFH + ∠HFG -------------------(i)
From the question:
∠EFH = (5x + 1)° -------------(ii)
∠HFG = 62° -------------(iii)
∠EFG = (18x + 11)° -------------(iv)
Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;
(18x + 11) = (5x + 1) + 62
=> 18x + 11 = 5x + 1 + 62
Collect like terms and solve for x
18x - 5x = 1 + 62 - 11
13x = 52
x = 4
Now, to get each measurement, substitute x = 4 into each of equations (ii) - (iv)
∠EFH = (5x + 1)°
∠EFH = (5(4) + 1)°
∠EFH = (20 + 1)°
∠EFH = 21°
∠HFG = 62° [Does not depend on x]
∠EFG = (18x + 11)°
∠EFG = (18(4) + 11)°
∠EFG = (72 + 11)°
∠EFG = 83°
Conclusion:
∠EFH = 21°
∠HFG = 62°
∠EFG = 83°
