In △ E H F , E H ≅ H F ⟹
H I is the ⊥ bisector of E F ⟹ ∠ H I E is a right angle and E I ≅ I F
and y = H G ≅ A C ≅ E F ⟹ △ E H F is an equilateral triangle ⟹ m ∠ E H G = 3 0 ∘ ⟹
m ∠ E G H = m ∠ H E G = 7 5 ∘ in isosceles △ E H G ⟹ m ∠ E G F = 1 5 0 ∘
In isosceles △ E G H the height h = sin ( 7 5 ∘ ) y = cos ( 1 5 ∘ ) y and using the law of cosines
⟹ z = E G = 2 y sin ( 1 5 ∘ ) ⟹ A △ H E G = 2 1 sin ( 3 0 ∘ ) = 4 1 y 2 ⟹
A E G F H = 2 A △ H E G = 2 1 y 2 = 5 0 ⟹ y = 1 0
⟹ m ∠ E G F + y = 1 5 0 + 1 0 = 1 6 0 .
