Answer:

FE = 30°

Explanation:

arc FGC = arc FG + arc GB + arc BC

220° = 90° + arc GB + 70° . . substitute known values

60° = arc GB . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 160°

__

External angle A is half the difference of arcs EG and GB:

30° = (1/2)(arc FE +90° -60°) . . . substitute known values

60° = arc FE + 30° . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2 and simplify

30° = arc FE . . . . . . subtract 30°

_____

The key to this problem is the relationship between external angle A and the measures of the arcs it subtends.
