Answer:

d. 89°

Explanation:

The given measure of the angles formed are;

m∠AED = 48°, m
\widehat{AG} = 175°

According to circle theorem, the angle formed by a chord and a tangent of a circle is given by half of the measure of the arc intercepted by the chord in the direction of the angle;

Therefore;

m∠AED = (1/2) × m
\widehat{ABE} = 48°

∴ m
\widehat{ABE} = 2 × 48° = 96°

m∠AEF = (1/2) × m
\widehat{AGE}

m
\widehat{ABE} + m
\widehat{AGE} = 360° (angle round a circle)

∴ m
\widehat{AGE} = 360° - m
\widehat{ABE} = 360° - 96° = 264°

m
\widehat{AGE} = m
\widehat{AG} + m
\widehat{EG}

∴ m
\widehat{EG} = m
\widehat{AGE} - m
\widehat{AG} = 264° - 175° = 89°

m
\widehat{EG} = 89°.
