Given:

m∠F = 54 degrees

Let's solve for m∠G and m∠H.

From the given triangle FGH, we can see the opposite sides are equal.

FG = GH

Since the opposite sides are equal it is an isosceles triangle.

The base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent.

∠F and ∠H are the base angles.

Thus, we have:

m∠H ≅ m∠F = 54 degrees.

Now, to find m∠G, apply the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem.

The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

m∠G + m∠H + m∠F = 180

m∠G + 54 + 54 = 180

m∠G + 108 = 180

Subtract 108 from both sides:

m∠G + 108 - 108 = 180 - 108

m∠G = 72 degrees.

In ΔFGH, m∠F = 54°, m∠G = 72°, m∠H = 54°

ANSWER:

• m∠G = 72°

,

• m∠H = 54°
