To find the measure of angle EDH we must solve for x first. Formulating an equation to find x, we have:

5x + 4x= 90 (Given that the sum of the angles EDH and HDG is equal to 90°)

9x = 90 (Adding like terms)

x= 90/9 (Dividing on both sides of the equation by 9)

x= 10

Replacing in the expression for angle EDH, we have:

m∠EDH = 5*(x) = 5*(10) = 50° (Multiplying)

The answer is m∠EDH =50°.
