  1. join I to E and to F
    FIE = 180°- 44 = 136° => IFE = IEF = 44:2 = 22°
    => AFE = 90° + 22° = 112°
    A/2 + B/2 = 136:2 =68°
    =>
    AFE + AIG = 112°+ 68° = 180° => AIGF cyclic =>
    x = IFE ( have same arc IG )

    x = 22°

  2. mBIA=mEIF/2=mEFF=mEFA
    AIGF, IECF concyclic
    x=mGFI=mECI=44/2=22

  3. A + B = 136 and so A/2 + B/2 = 68.

    Now IECF being cyclic < IEF = 22 and considering the angles of Tr. BEG, < BGE = 180 - B/2 - 90 - 22 = A/2. Hence AIGF is cyclic and so x = < IFG = 22

  4. Even if the value of C is not given we can similarly show that AG is perpendicular to BG
