Answer:


m\angle GHE=49^(\circ)

Explanation:

We have been given a paper airplane in which
ABCD\cong EFGH.

Since
ABCD\cong EFGH, therefore, by the definition of congruence corresponding angles of both quadrilaterals will be equal.


m\angle BAD=m\angle FEH


m\angle B=m\angle F


m\angle BCD=m\angle FGC


m\angle CDA=m\angle GHE

We know that all interior angles of quadrilateral add up-to 360 degree, so we can set an equation as:


m\angle BAD+m\angle B+m\angle BCD+m\angle CDA=360^(\circ)


m\angle 131^(\circ)+90^(\circ)+90^(\circ)+m\angle CDA=360^(\circ)


m\angle 311^(\circ)+m\angle CDA=360^(\circ)


m\angle 311^(\circ)-311^(\circ)+m\angle CDA=360^(\circ)-311^(\circ)


m\angle CDA=49^(\circ)

Therefore, the measure of angle GHE is 49 degrees.
