In a trapezoid EFGH, side EF is parallel to side HG. The measure of ∠E is 90o and the measure of ∠F is 85o. What is the measure of ∠G? Answer 5o 85o 95o 175o

E is 90. So, angle H has to be 90. So, that leaves F and G. Since F+G=180 and F=85, then G must be 95.

why thow

Because Trapezium has four angles and they must equal 360 degrees and at least two sides are parallel. So, given the information, the trapezoid should look like this: |dw:1325898382049:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because EF and HG are parallel, since angle E is 90, angle H must be 90.

That leaves the other two, the sum of which has to be 180 so that the total of all four angles is 360.
