Question
a. If EF 5 848, find:
(1) /EFD (2) HF
(3) /1
b. If EF 5 798, find: (1) /EFD
(2) HF (3) /1

Transcribed Image Text:### Problem Statement
**20.**
a. If \( \angle EF = 84^\circ \), find:
1. \( \angle EFD \)
2. \( \angle HF \)
3. \( \angle 1 \)
b. If \( \angle EF = 79^\circ \), find:
1. \( \angle EFD \)
2. \( \angle HF \)
3. \( \angle 1 \)
### Diagram Explanation
The diagram on the right depicts a circle with a tangent line \( HP \) and two tangents \( ED \) and \( EH \) meeting the circle at a common point \( F \). The angle \( \angle 1 \) is formed outside the circle between lines \( EH \) and \( HP \). The internal angle \( \angle EFD \) is given as \( 87^\circ \).
- **Tangent Line HP:** A line that touches the circle at only one point \( H \).
- **Tangent Lines ED and EH:** These lines are tangents to the circle meeting at point \( F \).
- **Angle Measurements:** The interior angle \( \angle EFD \) is \( 87^\circ \) and \( \angle 1 \) is formed at the intersection of the extensions of lines \( EH \) and \( HP \).
Consider the properties of tangents and external angles when solving for the unknown angles.
