the answer is b) 91° reason being is because 89 + 91= 180 which is a straight line.

Answer: B) 91°

Explanation:

From the given figure we can see that FG is a straight line.

We know that the straight angle (angle made by straight line) is
180^(\circ)

Therefore,
m\angle{HGF}+m\angle{HGI}=180^(\circ) [∵linear pair]


\Rightarrow89^(\circ)+m\angle{HGI}=180^(\circ)\\\\\Rightarrow m\angle{HGI}=180^(\circ)-89^(\circ)\\\\\Rightarrow m\angle{HGI}=91^(\circ)
