Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, hence

AE = EC, that is

x² - 6 = 5x ( subtract 5x from both sides )

x² - 5x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

However x > 0 ⇒ x = 6

AC = x² - 6 + 5x = 6² - 6 + 5(6) = 36 - 6 + 30 = 60

Since HLI and HLG are complementary angles (add together to make 90 degrees), you can set them up in the equation (25m + 22) + (9m) = 90.

25m + 22 + 9m = 90 add like numbers
34m + 22 = 90 subtraction property
34m = 68 divide
m = 2

substitute m = 2 into the equation got angle HLG (25m + 22)

25(2) + 22
50 + 22
HLG = 72
