Answer:

m∠FGD = 132°

Explanation:

Corresponding Angles Postulate

When a straight line intersects two parallel straight lines, the resulting corresponding angles are congruent.

Therefore, as AB is parallel to CD, and line EH intersects them:

⇒ m∠EFB = m∠FGD

Substitute the given expressions for the angles and solve for x:

⇒ (3x - 120)° = (x + 48)°

⇒ 3x - 120 = x + 48

⇒ 3x - 120 - x = x + 48 - x

⇒ 2x - 120 = 48

⇒ 2x - 120 + 120 = 48 + 120

⇒ 2x = 168

⇒ 2x ÷ 2 = 168 ÷ 2

⇒ x = 84

Substitute the found value of x into the expression for m∠FGD:

⇒ m∠FGD = (84 + 48)°

⇒ m∠FGD = 132°
