In the diagram, GI is a tangent to the circle at H. If EF//GI, calculate the size of < EHF
A
126o
B
72o
C
64cmo
D
32cmo
correct option: b
F = 54o (Alternate triangle angles)

< GHE = F = 54o(Angle between a chord and a tangent = angles in the alternate segment)

Now, < GHE + < EHF + < IHF = 180o(Angles on a straight line)

54o + < EHF + 54o = 180o

< EHF = 180o - 108o

= 72o
