Answer:
∠G = 53°
∠H = 90°
∠I = 37°
Step-by-step explanation:
∠H = 90° because it is a right angle and all right angles = 90°
The sum of all angles in a triangle = 180°
∠H + ∠G + ∠I = 180°
90° + (5x - 7)° + (3x + 1)° = 180°
5x - 7 + 3x + 1 = 90° Subtract 90° from both sides
8x - 6 = 90 Adding like terms
8x = 96 Adding 6 to both sides
x = 12 Dividing both sides by 8
Now solve for ∠G and ∠I using 12 as the value for x
∠G = (5x - 7)° ∠I = (3x + 1)°
∠G = 5·12 - 7 ∠I = 3·12 + 1
∠G = 53° ∠I = 37°
