Its 70

To find the measure of angle AHG, we first need to determine the relationship between the angle measures in the diagram.

The given information tells us that transversal GH intersects parallel lines AB and CD. This means that angles formed by the transversal and the parallel lines have certain properties.

According to the Transversal Postulate, when a transversal intersects two parallel lines, corresponding angles are congruent. Corresponding angles are angles that are in the same position relative to the transversal and parallel lines.

In our diagram, two corresponding angles are <DGH and <AHG because they are on the same side of the transversal GH and they are both above and below the parallel lines.

Therefore, we can conclude that m<DGH = m<AHG.

Given that m<DGH = x, we can substitute this value for m<AHG.

m<AHG = x

Now, we need to find the value of x to determine the measure of angle AHG. We can do this by using the given information about the relationship between angle measures.

The given information states that m<BHG = 2x - 30.

Since angles <BHG and <DGH are corresponding angles (because they are on the same side of the transversal and above/below the parallel lines), they are congruent. Therefore,

m<BHG = m<DGH

2x - 30 = x

To solve for x, we subtract x from both sides of the equation:

2x - x = x - x - 30

x = -30

Since x is a measure of an angle, it cannot be negative. The equation x = -30 does not have a valid solution in this context.

Therefore, without additional information, we cannot determine the measure of <AHG.
