Q2 of 39 Page 150

Let’s write the measurement of the angles of ΔEHG in the figure beside.


Given: AB||CD, FE as the transversal line, AFH = 110°, HGE = 60°


To find the angles of ΔEHG, i.e., GHE and GEH


Now in the given figure, PQ is parallel to TS, so


AFH = FHG as they form is alternate interior angles.


So FHG = 110°….(i)


Now FHE is a straight line, so


FHE = 180°


⇒∠FHG + GHE = 180°


Now substituting the value from equation (i), we get


110° + GHE = 180°


⇒∠GHE = 180° - 110°


⇒∠GHE = 70°……..(ii)


Now consider ΔEHG,


We know in a triangle the sum of all three interior angles is equal to 180°.


So in this case,


GHE + GEH + HGE = 180°


Substituting the values from given criteria and equation(ii), we get


70° + GEH + 60° = 180°


GEH = 180° - 60° - 70°


GEH = 50°


So the measurement of the unknown angle of the given triangle EHG are 50° and 70°.
