Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Identify known angles and properties.

    We are given:

    • G, D, F are points on the circle with centre A.
    • CE‾\overline{CE} is a tangent to the circle at D.
    • ∠DGE=51∘\angle DGE = 51^\circ.
    • ∠AFG=38∘\angle AFG = 38^\circ.

    Since AD‾\overline{AD} is a radius and CE‾\overline{CE} is a tangent at D, the radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of tangency.
    Therefore, ∠ADE=90∘\angle ADE = 90^\circ.

  2. Calculate angles in △AFG\triangle AFG.

    Since A is the centre and F, G are on the circle, AF‾\overline{AF} and AG‾\overline{AG} are
