STEP 1

Assumptions1. Vector HGundefined\overrightarrow{H G} bisects HF\angle H F. . The measure of angle HG H G is given by (15x19)(15 x-19)^\circ.
3. The measure of angle GHFG H F is given by (9x+11)(9 x+11)^\circ.
4. We need to find the measure of angle HF H F.

STEP 2

Since HGundefined\overrightarrow{H G} bisects HF\angle H F, we know that HG\angle H G is equal to GHF\angle G H F. So, we can set the expressions for these angles equal to each other and solve for xx.
(15x19)=(9x+11)(15 x-19)^\circ = (9 x+11)^\circ

STEP 3

To solve for xx, first subtract 9x9x from both sides of the equation.
(15x9x)19=11(15 x -9 x) -19^\circ =11^\circ

STEP 4

implify the left side of the equation.
6x19=116x -19^\circ =11^\circ

STEP 5

Next, add 1919^\circ to both sides of the equation to isolate xx on one side.
x=11+19x =11^\circ +19^\circ

STEP 6

Calculate the right side of the equation.
6x=306x =30^\circ

STEP 7

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by6 to solve for xx.
x=306x = \frac{30^\circ}{6}

STEP 8

Calculate the value of xx.
x=5x =5

STEP 9

Now that we have the value of xx, we can substitute it back into the expressions for HG\angle H G and GHF\angle G H F to find the measure of these angles.
mHG=(15519)m \angle H G = (15 \cdot5 -19)^\circmGHF=(95+11)m \angle G H F = (9 \cdot5 +11)^\circ

STEP 10

Calculate the measure of HG\angle H G and GHF\angle G H F.
mHG=56m \angle H G =56^\circmGHF=56m \angle G H F =56^\circ

STEP 11

Since HGundefined\overrightarrow{H G} bisects HF\angle H F, the measure of HF\angle H F is twice the measure of HG\angle H G or GHF\angle G H F. So, we can calculate the measure of HF\angle H F as followsmHF=mHGm \angle H F = \cdot m \angle H G

STEP 12

Substitute the measure of HG\angle H G into the equation.
mHF=256m \angle H F =2 \cdot56^\circ

STEP 13

Calculate the measure of HF\angle H F.
mHF=112m \angle H F =112^\circThe measure of HF\angle H F is 112112^\circ.
