Given:

In triangle [tex]EFG, m\angle E = 5x, m\angle F=6x[/tex] and extirior angle G  is 110 degrees.

To find:

The measure of angle FEG.

Solution:

Exterior angle theorem, the sum of two interior angles of a triangle is equal to the opposite extirior angle.

Using extrior angle theorem in triangle EFG, we get

[tex]m\angle E+m\angle F=\text{Measure of extirior angle }G[/tex]

[tex]5x+6x=110^\circ[/tex]

[tex]11x=110^\circ[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{110^\circ}{11}[/tex]

[tex]x=10^\circ[/tex]

Now,

[tex]m\angle FEG=5x[/tex]

[tex]m\angle EFG=5(10^\circ)[/tex]

[tex]m\angle EFG=50^\circ[/tex]

Therefore, the measure of angle FEG is 50 degrees. So, option C is correct.
