Exercise 30 Page 451

By the definition of a rectangle, we know that EFGH has four right angles.

77

Practice makes perfect

Let's analyze the given quadrilateral so that we can find the measure of ∠ FGE.

By the definition of a rectangle, we know that EFGH has four right angles. Therefore, the measure of ∠ HGF is 90. m ∠ HGF = 90 By using the Angle Addition Postulate, we can express m ∠ HGF as the sum of m ∠ HGE and m ∠ FGE. m ∠ HGE + m ∠ FGE = m ∠ HGF ⇓ m ∠ HGE + m ∠ FGE = 90 We are given that m ∠ HGE=13. We can substitute this value into our equation. 13 + m ∠ FGE = 90 Let's solve it!
13 + m ∠ FGE = 90
m ∠ FGE = 77
