Practice makes perfect

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

By the definition of a rectangle, we know that EFGH has four right angles. Therefore, the measure of ∠ FEH is 90. m ∠ FEH = 90 By using the Angle Addition Postulate, we can express m ∠ FEH as the sum of m ∠ FEG and m ∠ GEH. m ∠ FEG + m ∠ GEH = m ∠ FEH ⇓ m ∠ FEG + m ∠ GEH = 90 We are given that m ∠ FEG=57. We will substitute this value into our equation. 57 + m ∠ GEH = 90 Let's solve it!
57 + m ∠ GEH = 90
m ∠ GEH = 33
