Answer :
- x = 15°
- m∠FGH = 29°
- m∠HGI = 29°
- m∠FGI = 58°
Given :
To find :
- Value of x & measure ∠FGH
- Measure ∠HGI
- Measure ∠FGI
Solution :
We know that, when a ray bisects an angle,it means it divides it into two equal parts , therefore,
- Measure ∠FGH = Measure ∠HGI
- 2x - 1° = 3x - 16°
- 2x - 3x = -16° +1°
- -x = -15°
- x = 15°
Hence, the value of x would be equal to 15°.
Plugging in the value of x in angle ∠FGI & ∠HGI
- 2x -1° = 2*15° - 1° = 29°
- 3x -16° = 3*15° - 16° = 29°
Thus, Measure ∠FGI & ∠HGI would be same i.e. 29°
And , since GH bisected ∠FGH,
Thereby,
- Measure ∠FGH + Measure ∠HGI = Measure∠FGI
- 29° + 29° = Measure∠FGI
- Measure∠FGI = 58°
Thus , Measure∠FGI = 58°
