Question

In the fallowing diagram, it is shown that mEHG is a right angle, mEHF = x+ 1 and mGHF = 5x+5. Find the value of x, the numerical values of mEHF and mGHF, and mark them on the diagram

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 14

EHF = 15 degree  GHF = 75 degree  

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+1) + (5x+5) = 90

(x+5x)+ (1+5) = 90

6x + 6 = 90

6x = 90-6

6x = 84

x = 84/6

x = 14

EHF + GHF = 90 degree

EHF = x+1

       = 14 + 1 = 15

       = 15 degree

GHF = 5x+5

        = 14 x  5 (+5) = 70 + 5

        = 75 degree

EHF = 15 degree  GHF = 75 degree
