Solution Steps

Step 1: Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

The given figure is a parallelogram GHIJGHIJ. In a parallelogram, any two consecutive angles are supplementary, which means their sum is 180 degrees. Therefore, mI+mH=180m\angle I + m\angle H = 180^\circ.

Step 2: Set up the equation.

We are given that mI=7u52m\angle I = 7u - 52^\circ and mH=2u+25m\angle H = 2u + 25^\circ. Substituting these values into the equation from Step 1, we have 7u52+2u+25=1807u - 52 + 2u + 25 = 180

Step 3: Solve for u.

Combining like terms, we have 9u27=1809u - 27 = 180 9u=180+279u = 180 + 27 9u=2079u = 207 u=2079u = \frac{207}{9} u=23u = 23

Step 4: Find the measure of angle I.

Substitute the value of uu back into the expression for mIm\angle I: mI=7u52=7(23)52=16152=109m\angle I = 7u - 52 = 7(23) - 52 = 161 - 52 = 109^\circ.

Final Answer

The final answer is 109\boxed{109}
