Question

In the circle below, suppose m FEH=272º and m EFG=116º. Find the following.​

Answer 1

Answer:

m∠FEH = 44°

m∠EHG =  64°

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The given information are;

The angle of arc m∠FEH = 272°, the measured angle of ∠EFG = 116°

Given that m∠FEH = 272°, therefore, arc ∠HGF = 360 - 272 = 88°

Therefore, angle subtended by arc ∠HGF at the center = 88°

The angle subtended by arc ∠HGF at the circumference = m∠FEH

∴ m∠FEH = 88°/2 = 44° (Angle subtended at the center = 2×angle subtended at the circumference)

m∠FEH = 44°

2) Similarly, m∠HGF is subtended by arc m FEH, therefore, m∠HGF = (arc m FEH)/2 = 272°/2 = 136°

The sum of angles in a quadrilateral = 360°

Therefore;

m∠FEH + m∠HGF + m∠EFG + m∠EHG = 360° (The sum of angles in a quadrilateral EFGH)

m∠EHG = 360° - (m∠FEH + m∠HGF + m∠EFG) = 360 - (44 + 136 + 116) = 64°

m∠EHG =  64°.
