Transcribed Image Text:### Geometry Problems on Circles
#### Problem 31
**Diagram Description**:
- There is a circle with points \( H \), \( F \), \( J \), and \( G \).
- \( H \), \( F \), and \( G \) are points on the circumference, while \( J \) is the center of the circle.
- The inscribed angle \( \angle HFG \) measures \( 25^\circ \).
**Problem Statement:**
What is the measure of arc \( HG \)?
**Hint**: Remember the measure of the arc is TWICE the measure of the INSCRIBED angle. The INSCRIBED angle is \( \angle HFG \).
**Solution**:
The measure of arc \( HG \) is twice the measure of the inscribed angle \( \angle HFG \).
Thus, the measure of arc \( HG \) is \( 2 \times 25^\circ = 50^\circ \).

#### Problem 32
**Problem Statement:**
What is the measure of angle \( HJG \)?
**Hint**: Remember the measure of the central angle equals the measure of the arc.
**Solution**:
The measure of the central angle \( \angle HJG \) is equal to the measure of the arc \( HG \). Since the arc \( HG \) measures \( 50^\circ \), \( \angle HJG \) also measures \( 50^\circ \).
Diagram explanation for clarification:
- The circle portrays an inscribed angle \( \angle HFG \) intersecting arc \( HG \) with \( \angle HFG \) given as \( 25^\circ \).
- Central angle \( \angle HJG \) subtends the same arc \( HG \).
From the information and hints provided, the following conclusions can be made:
- Inscribed angle \( \angle HFG \): \( 25^\circ \).
- Corresponding arc \( HG \): \( 50^\circ \) (since it's twice the inscribed angle).
- Central angle \( \angle HJG \): \( 50^\circ \) (equal to the measure of arc \( HG \)).
