Answer:

  262°

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the angle at B (82°) and the arcs of the circle, CGF and CDF, is that the angle is half the difference of those arcs. Of course the sum of those arcs is 360°, since together they make a full circle. So. we have ...

  CGF +CDF = 360

  (CGF -CDF)/2 = 82

We need to solve this system of equations to find CGF.

__

Multiplying the second equation by 2 and adding the first, we get ...

  2((CGF -CDF)/2) +(CGF +CDF) = 2(82) +(360)

  2CGF = 524 . . . . . simplify

  CGF = 262 . . . . . . divide by 2

The measure of arc CGF is 262°.

_____

Alternate solution

Here's another way to get there. Arc CDF is the supplement to angle B, so is ...

  CDF = 180° -∠CBF

Of course, arc CGF is 360° minus arc CDF, so ...

  CGF = 360° -(180° -∠CBF)

  CGF = 180° +∠CBF . . . . . simplify . . . please note this is a general solution

Then ...

  arc CGF = 180° +82° = 262°.
