I think its 60 degrees
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I was thinking it'd be bigger because of the 80 on smaller side idk
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it cant be 100 or 140 because there both to big so it ether 30 or 60
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@Hero can you help real quick to confirm if its 60?

There's only one possible option.
hero (hero):
∠OGF = 40°
OpenStudy (anonymous):
This kind of problem confuses me because it doesn't add up to just 180.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it might be 30
hero (hero):
There's one specific clue. If you look at ∠OFG, you'll notice that it is very acute.

so its 30
hero (hero):
But
∠OGF + ∠GOF + ∠OFG = 180°
40° + 110° + x = 180°
hero (hero):
Yes, it is 30
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh so when I add all the angles it does become 180
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thanks guys

Yes, exactly.

The angles within a triangle must add to 180 in order for it to be a triangle.
