Answer:

arc FG = 115°

arc EG = 165°

Explanation:

The first step is to understand how these arcs are arranged on a circle. The next step is to realize the whole is the sum of the parts. Arcs have the same measure as their central angle. A circle totals 360°.

arc EF + arc FG = arc EFG . . . . parts of an arc add to give the whole arc

80° + arc FG = 195°

arc FG = 115° . . . . . . . . . subtract 80°

__

Similarly, parts of a circle add to give the whole circle.

arc EFG + arc EG = 360°

195° + arc EG = 360°

arc EG = 165° . . . . . . . . . subtract 195°
