A. x=4
B. m<BEG = 72°
C. m<EGC = 120°
D. m<GCB + m<CBE = 180°
E. m<BEG + m<EGC = 230°
F. The sum of all exterior angles of BEGC is equal to 360°.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The sum of all exterior angles of BEGC is equal to 360° ⇒ answer F only

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise some facts about the quadrilateral

- Quadrilateral is a polygon of 4 sides

- The sum of measures of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is 360°

- The sum of measures of the exterior angles of any quadrilateral is 360°

* Lets solve the problem

- DEGC is a quadrilateral

∵ m∠BEG = (19x + 3)°

∵ m∠EGC = (m∠GCB + 4x)°

∵ The sum of the measures of its interior angles is 360°

∴ m∠BEG + m∠EGC + m∠GCB + m∠CBE = 360

∴ (19x + 3) + (m∠GCB + 4x) + m∠GCB + m∠CBE = 360 ⇒ add the like terms

∴ (19x + 4x) + (m∠GCB + m∠GCB) + m∠CBE + 3 = 360 ⇒ -3 from both sides

∴ 23x + 2m∠GCB + m∠CBE = 375

∵ The sum of measures of the exterior angles of any quadrilateral is 360°

∴ The statement in answer F is only true
