\]
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.
The given figure is a parallelogram GHIJ. In a parallelogram, any two consecutive angles are supplementary, which means their sum is 180 degrees.
Therefore, m∠I+m∠H=180∘.
Step 2: Set up the equation.
We are given that m∠I=7u−52∘ and m∠H=2u+25∘.
Substituting these values into the equation from Step 1, we have
7u−52+2u+25=180
Step 3: Solve for u.
Combining like terms, we have
9u−27=1809u=180+279u=207u=9207u=23
Step 4: Find the measure of angle I.
Substitute the value of u back into the expression for m∠I:
m∠I=7u−52=7(23)−52=161−52=109∘.
