Final answer:

The measure of angle FGQ is the sum of angles QGH and GQH, which calculates to 62°. However, this answer is not present in the provided options, suggesting an error in the question or the options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves finding the measure of angle FGQ given the measures of angles QGH and FGH. We know angle FGH is 160°, and angle QGH is 42°. The sum of these two angles would give the measure of angle FGQ, which is the external angle for triangle FGQ

To find the measure of angle FGQ (m FGQ), we can use the fact that the external angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles. So:

m FGQ = m QGH + m GQH
= 42° + (180° - 160°)
= 42° + 20°
= 62°

Thus, the measure of angle FGQ is 62°, which is not listed in the provided options. Therefore, there appears to be a mistake in the question or the options provided.
