Question

If m angle GEF is thirteen less than five times m angle DEG and m angle DEF = 149º, find m angle GEF. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

122*

122 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠GEF is 13 less than 5 times m∠DEG and m∠DEF = 149*

Solution:

As per given data,

m∠GEF = 5m∠DEG - 13* … (i)

m∠DEF = 149* -> m∠GEF + m∠DEG = 149* .. (ii)

Substituting value of m∠GEF in (ii)

We get,

(5m ∠DEG - 13*) + m∠DEG = 149*

6m ∠DEG - 13* = 149*

6m ∠DEG = 149* + 13* = 162*

m∠DEG = * = 27*

Substituting value of m∠DEG in (i)

We get,

m∠GEF = 5(27*) - 13*

m∠GEF = 135* - 13* = 122*
