Question

Find the measure of bfg​

Answer 1

33 degrees

Explanation:

Angles BFG + GFC = 90

5r +68 + 8r +113 =90

1

Collect like terms

13r + 181 = 90

Subract 181 from both sides

13r = 90-181

13r = - 91

r = - 7

Now insert the value of r into BFG (5r +68)

5r + 68 = 5(-7) +68

= -35 + 68

=33

Check your answer by inserting the value of r into 8r +113

8r + 113 =8(-7) +113

-56+113= 57

The two angles 33 and 57 must add up to 90, a rt angle
