In the given figure, AB || CD and XY is a transversal line intersects AB and CD at E and G respectively. If EF and GF are the bisectors of ∠BEG and ∠DGE respectively, then the measure of ∠EFG is equal to___?

$\sf\bold{Explanation\: required}$​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Let ∠1 = 3x and ∠2 = 2x

From figure: ∠1 and ∠2 are linear pair of angles

Therefore, ∠1 + ∠2 = 180

3x + 2x = 180

5x = 180

x = 180 / 5

=> x = 36

So, ∠1 = 3x = 1080 and ∠2 = 2x = 720

As we know, vertically opposite angles are equal.

Pairs of vertically opposite angles are:

(∠1 = ∠3); (∠2 = ∠4) ; (∠5, ∠7) and (∠6 , ∠8)

∠1 = ∠3 = 108°

∠2 = ∠4 = 72°

∠5 = ∠7

∠6 = ∠8

We also know, if a transversal intersects any parallel lines, then the corresponding angles are equal

∠1 = ∠5 = ∠7 = 108°

∠2 = ∠6 = ∠8 = 72°

Answer: ∠1 = 108°, ∠2 = 72°, ∠3 = 108°, ∠4 = 72°, ∠5 = 108°, ∠6 = 72°, ∠7 = 108° and ∠8 = 72°
