Answer
To show that FOGE is a cyclic quadrilateral, we need to prove that the opposite angles are supplementary. Since EF is a radius of the circle, and EG is also a radius, we have:
Angle EFO = 90° (angle at radius and tangent)
Angle EGO = 90° (angle at radius and tangent)
Thus, we have:
EFO+EGO=90°+90°=180°
This confirms that FOGE is a cyclic quadrilateral.

Answer
To show that EG is a tangent to circle GJK, we can use the property that the angle between a tangent and the radius at the point of contact is 90°.
Since FH is parallel to EK (given) and we have:
Angle G1 = Angle H = x (corresponding angles)
Angle R1 = R1 (Equal segments)
This implies that EG meets circle GJK at a right angle. Hence, EG is a tangent to the circle.
Step 3
FEG = 180° - 2x.

Answer
For the angle FEG:
Given that angles FEG and EHG are angles in the cyclic quadrilateral FOGE, and the angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary, we can state:
Angle FEG + Angle EHG = 180°
We already established that Angle EHG = 2x (since angle at the circle subtends the same arc)
