Answer:

∠HGB = 20°

∠ECD = 34°

∠GBH = 36°

∠FGH = 37°

Explanation:

There are several useful rules regarding angles:

  • right angles are 90°
  • the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°
  • angles of a linear pair are supplementary (total 180°)
  • vertical angles are congruent
  • an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles

This last observation is a consequence of the 2nd and 3rd observations.

__

angle ECD

Using the last observation, ∠ECD = 124° -90° = 34°.

angle HGB

Again, using the last observation, ∠HGB = 110° -90° = 20°.

angle GBH

There are at least a couple of ways to find this one. We assume that lines FB and EC are parallel, so angles HBC and ECD are corresponding, hence congruent. Angle GBC is the supplement of of 110°, so is 70°. Then ...

∠GBH = 70° -34° = 36°

angle FGH

Again, this angle can be found multiple ways. Here, we'll use the sum of angles in triangle FGB.

∠FGB +∠GBF +∠BFG = 180°

(∠FGH +∠HGB) +∠GBF +∠BFG = 180°

∠FGH +20° +36° +87° = 180°

∠FGH = 180° -143° = 37°

__

Least to greatest, the angles are ...

∠HGB = 20°

∠ECD = 34°

∠GBH = 36°

∠FGH = 37°
