Answer:

m ∠ EFH = 31°

m ∠ HFG = 31°

Explanation:

Given: m ∠ EFG = 62°

Since : m ∠ EFG is the composition of two angle m ∠ EFH and m ∠ HFG.

So, we can set up the equation as:

m ∠ EFH + m ∠ HFG = m ∠ EFG

Substituting value:

(2x + 5)° + (3x -8)°= 62°

Simplify like terms:

5x - 3 = 62

Add 3 on both sides:

5x - 3 + 3 = 62 + 3

5x = 65

Divide both sides by 5.


\sf (5x)/(5) =( 65)/(5)

x = 13

We can find the angle of m ∠ EFH and m ∠ HFG by substituting value of x.

m ∠ EFH = (2 × 13 + 5)° = (26 + 5)° = 31°

m ∠ HFG = (3 × 13 - 8)° = (39 - 8)° = 31°

Therefore,

m ∠ EFH = 31°

m ∠ EFH = 31°m ∠ HFG = 31°
