Answer 1

Answer:

∠ EFG = 83°, ∠ GCE = 97°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since FE and FG are tangents to the circle then

∠ FGC and ∠ FEC are right angles

The sum of the angles in quadrilateral CEFG = 360°

Sum the 4 angles and equate to 360

3x + 11 + 90 + 5x - 23 + 90 = 360, that is

8x + 168 = 360 ( subtract 168 from both sides )

8x = 192 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 24

Thus

∠ EFG = 3x + 11 = 3(24) + 11 = 72 + 11 = 83°

∠ GCE = 5x - 23 = 5(24) - 23 = 120 - 23 = 97°
