Answer:

∠ E = 70° , ∠ F = 40° , ∠ G = 70°

Explanation:

given EF = FG then Δ EFG is isosceles with base angles congruent, that is

∠ G = ∠ E = 5n

the sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

sum the 3 angles and equate to 180

4n - 16 + 5n + 5n

14n - 16 = 180 ( add 16 to both sides )

14n = 196 ( divide both sides by 14 )

n = 14

Then

∠ E = 5n = 5(14) = 70°

∠ F = 4n - 16 = 4(14) - 16 = 56 - 16 = 40°

∠ G = 5n = 5(14) = 70°
