In ΔABC (m∠C = 90°), the points D and E are the points where the angle bisectors of ∠A and ∠B intersect respectively sides BC an d AC . Point G ∈ AB so that DG ⊥ AB and H ∈ AB so that EH ⊥ AB .Prove m∠HCG = 45° (with statement reason preferably).

Answer:
The answer is 8.34
U have to use the SOH CAH TOA method
In this case I used tan
so,
tan 50= BC/7
solve for BC= 7* tan 50= 8.34
