HELP HELP LOOK AT ATTACHMENT MEDAL + FAN
OK, first look to see which angle or angles are adjacent to the one in question.
seems like FH is
Look at adjacent angles that you know the measures of../like EG
|dw:1374777156717:dw|
also, because of the 90 degree angle, m angle EF is 40 degrees
Now, remebber that all the angles of a triangle always add up to 360. if all the angles are 50, 90 40, and 40, what does that leave you with?
360=90x+40
you can also see that because EH is adjacent that FG would have the same measure...which is how @Jamierox4ev3r got to 40 measures
right they are adjacent to each other and therefore congruent
50+90+40+40=220 360-220=140
ohh i did add up 50+90+40+40=220 but i thought it would be wrong
Therefore, your answer is \(140^\circ\)
right but you have to subtract 220 from 360, because all the angles in a circle always add up to 360
and you can see if you used adjacent property, you would also get 140. Two ways same answer :)
thats why i love math; you get choices :D
\(\ddot\smile\)
Whichever way is easiest to you are most comfortable using.
