Answer:

∠BGP = 53°

Explanation:

The explanation is quite simple. Thanks to the red square in the corner of angle BGC, we can see that BGC is a right angle. All right angles are equal to 90°. Line GP Splits angle BGC in half. We are given the value of one half of the angle; 37°. To find the value of BGP, simply subtract 90°-37°. The answer is 53°, which is your final answer

BGC = 90 degrees = PGC + BGP

PGC = 37 degrees

90 = 37 + BGP

Subtract 37 from both sides

53 = BGP
