(180(total angle measure of triangle)-50(EFG))/2(the other two angles have the same measure)=65


The angle CGE=180=CGF+EGF
180-65=CGF
115=CGF

we know that

An isosceles triangle has two equals sides and two equals angles

so

EF=GF

m∠EGF=m∠GEF

The sum of the internal angles of a triangle must be [tex]180[/tex] degrees

m∠EGF+m∠GEF+m∠EFG=[tex]180\°[/tex]

we have

m∠EFG=[tex]50\°[/tex]

2m∠EGF+[tex]50\°=180\°[/tex]

2m∠EGF=[tex]180\°-50\°[/tex]

2m∠EGF=[tex]130\°[/tex]

m∠EGF=[tex]65\°[/tex]

therefore

the answer Part a) is

the measure of angle EGF is [tex]65\°[/tex]

Part b) What is the measure of m∠CGF?

we know that

m∠CGF+m∠EGF=[tex]180\°[/tex] ---------> by supplementary angles

substitute values

m∠CGF+[tex]65\°=180\°[/tex]

m∠CGF=[tex]180\°-65\°[/tex]

m∠CGF=[tex]115\°[/tex]

therefore

the answer Part b) is

the measure of angle CGF is [tex]115\°[/tex]
