Answer 1

Explanation:

The formula for this is

∠G = 1/2(arcEH - arcHF)

We have angle G (5x - 10) and we have arcEH (195) so we have to solve for x to find the measure of arcEHF so we can add arcEH + arcHF = arcEHF

Filling in the formula with what we have:

`5x-10=(1)/(2)(195-(8x+17))`

which simplifies down a bit to

`5x-10=(1)/(2)(195-8x-17)` which simplifies down a bit more to

`5x-10=(1)/(2)(178-8x)` Multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction and get:

2(5x - 10) = 178 - 8x which of course simplifies to

10x - 20 = 178 - 8x. Now add 8x to both sides and at the same time add 20 to both sides to get:

18x = 198 so

x = 11. Now we can find the measure of arcHF:

arcHF is 8x + 17, so arcHF is 8(11) + 17 which is 105°.

arcEH + arcHF = arcEHF so

195 + 105 = arcEHF so

arcEHF = 300°
