In the given figure of quadrilateral FGHI,

Line FH and IG are the diagonals that bisect the angles :

FH divide the angles GHI and IFG

IG divide the angles FGH and FIH

Since, FH divide the angle IFG such that , Angle IFG = Angle IFJ + Angle JFG

where, Angle IFJ = AngleJFG

Substitute the value :

5x - 1 = 2x + 11

Simplify the equation for x :

5x - 2x = 11 + 1

3x = 12

x = 12/3

x = 4

Substiute the value of x = 4 in the the angle JFG

as JFG = 2x + 11

Angle JFG = 2(4) + 11

Angle JFG = 8 + 11

Angle JFG = 19

Angle FJG = 90 degree,

In the triangle, FJG,

The sum of all angles in the triangle is equal 180 degree

Angle FJG + Angle JFG + Angle FGJ = 180

90 + 19 + Angle FGJ = 180

109 + Angle FGJ = 180

Angle FGJ = 180 - 109

Angle FGJ = 71 degree
