Quadrilateral EFGH is an isosceles trapezoid. If mG is four times mH, what is mE?
+152 in trapezoids, opposite angles are always supplementary (they add up to 180). and because this trapezoid is isoceles, we can create these equations:
g = 4h
g + h = 180
now we can use substitution to solve.
5h = 180
h = 36.
and we know angle h is equal to angle e, so the answer is just 36 degrees.
hope this helped! please let me know if you are confused about anything i did :)
