Question
e opposite rays and cc bisects / bgd. bc=(6x - 13)° and m∠cgf=(4x + 3)°, what is m∠bgf?
Step1: Use angle - bisector property
Since $GC$ bisects $\angle BGD$, $\angle BGC=\angle CGD = 6x - 13$.
Step2: Set up equation using linear - pair or angle - relationship
Assume $\angle BGC+\angle CGF+\angle FGD = 180^{\circ}$ (if a straight - line is involved). Also, assume $\angle BGC=\angle CGD$. We can find $x$ first. Since $\angle BGC=\angle CGD = 6x - 13$ and $\angle CGF = 4x+3$.
If we assume $\angle BGC+\angle CGF = 180^{\circ}$ (linear - pair), then $(6x - 13)+(4x + 3)=180$.
Combining like terms: $10x-10 = 180$.
Adding 10 to both sides: $10x=190$.
Dividing by 10: $x = 19$.
Step3: Calculate $\angle BGC$ and $\angle CGF$
$\angle BGC=6x - 13=6\times19 - 13=114 - 13 = 101^{\circ}$.
$\angle CGF=4x + 3=4\times19+3=76 + 3=79^{\circ}$.
Step4: Calculate $\angle BGF$
$\angle BGF=\angle BGC-\angle CGF$.
$\angle BGF=(6x - 13)-(4x + 3)=6x-13 - 4x - 3=2x-16$.
Substitute $x = 19$: $\angle BGF=2\times19-16=38 - 16 = 22^{\circ}$.
