is there any answer choices?

i honestly dont remeber but maybe @Mertsj Or someone else can help you. im sorry

I'm just sort of guessing here, but since a triangle has 180 degrees, I subtracted 88 from 180 to give me 92, which I then divided by 2 to split between the other angles, leaving me with 46,46, 88 in the larger triangle. I also think that the measure of G is identical the the angle touching it, so my answer would be G = 46 degrees. Even if I'm right, I'm sure your teacher will want a little bit better reasoning than what I just did.

i agree with Ajk

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The triangle is isosceles so the two base angles are equal. The given angle is 88 so 180-88=92 degrees for the two remaining angles. That makes each of the two congruent angles 92/2 or 46. Since vertical angles are congruent, G is also 46.
