Answer:

The measure of G = 9.2°

Explanation:

From the figure we can write,

The measure of <G is half the the measure of arc AD

To find the value of x

We have AD = (6x - 80)° and 2G = (x + 2)°

6x - 80 = (x + 2)

6x - 80 = x + 2

6x - x = 82

5x = 82

x = 82/5 = 16.4

To find the measure of <gG

m<G = (x + 2 )/2

= (16.4 + 2)/2 = 18.4 = 9.2

Therefore the measure of <G = 9.2°
