I F G H u+53^\circ 3u-93^\circ m\angle I = ___^\circ Graph shape: a slanted rhombus labeled F at upper right, G at lower right, H at lower left, and I at upper left; the angle at H is labeled u+53^\circ and the angle at G is labeled 3u-93^\circ; the prompt \u201CFind m\angle I in rhombus FGHI.\u201D is positioned top-left; the answer blank \u201Cm\angle I = ___^\circ\u201D is near bottom-left. position_hint: center
1. **State the problem:** We need to find the measure of angle $m\angle I$ in rhombus $FGHI$ given that $m\angle H = u+53^\circ$ and $m\angle G = 3u-93^\circ$. 2. **Recall properties of a rhombus:** Opposite angles in a rhombus are equal, and adjacent angles are supplementary (sum to $180^\circ$). 3. **Set up equations:** Since $H$ and $G$ are adjacent angles, their measures add up to $180^\circ$: $$ (u+53) + (3u - 93) = 180 $$ 4. **Simplify and solve for $u$:** $$ u + 53 + 3u - 93 = 180 $$ $$ 4u - 40 = 180 $$ $$ 4u = 180 + 40 $$ $$ 4u = 220 $$ $$ u = \frac{220}{4} $$ $$ u = 55 $$ 5. **Find $m\angle H$ and $m\angle G$ using $u=55$:** $$ m\angle H = u + 53 = 55 + 53 = 108^\circ $$ $$ m\angle G = 3u - 93 = 3(55) - 93 = 165 - 93 = 72^\circ $$ 6. **Find $m\angle I$:** Since $I$ is opposite $G$, $m\angle I = m\angle G = 72^\circ$. **Final answer:** $$ m\angle I = 72^\circ $$
