Answer:

  • x = 3
  • ∠IEH = 61°
  • ∠IHE = 35°

Explanation:

There are a couple of useful facts about parallelograms that can be used here.

1) The diagonals bisect each other.

2) Opposite sides are parallel, so each diagonal can be considered a "transversal" with respect to parallel lines. That means all of the angle relationships involving parallel lines apply.

__

The two marked sections of diagonal GIE are congruent, so you have ...

3x +1 = 10

3x = 9 . . . . subtract 1

x = 3 . . . . . divide by 3

__

Angles IEH and IGF are "alternate interior" angles, so are congruent.

angle IEH = 61°

__

Angles IHE and IFG are "alternate interior" angles, so are congruent.

angle IHE = 35°
