find the measure of hdg​

Answer 1

39
T=8
3x8+15= 39
You can also just take away 51° from 90°

Answer 2

<HDG = 39°

Explanation:

Red square is a right angle which mean its a 90°

Those two angle <CDG and <HDG are complementary angle which mean they both add up to 90°

<CDG + <HDG = 90°

51° + (3t+15)° = 90°

Solve for t.

3t + 51 + 15 = 90°

3t + 66 = 90°

3t = 24

t = 8

Plug t = 8 into <HDG to find the measurement.

<HDG = 3t + 15

<HDG = 3*8 + 15

<HDG = 24 + 15

<HDG = 39°
