1. Use the property of a rectangle to set up an equation for the angles at vertex D.

Since ABCDABCD is a rectangle, the interior angle at DD is 90∘90^\circ. Thus, ∠CDA=90∘\angle CDA = 90^\circ.
The rays from DCDC to DADA are DCDC, DEDE, DFDF (which is the diagonal DBDB), and DADA.
Therefore, ∠CDE+∠FDE+∠ADF=90∘\angle CDE + \angle FDE + \angle ADF = 90^\circ.

2. Solve for $\angle FDE$ using the given angle equalities.

We are given ∠CDE=12∘\angle CDE = 12^\circ and ∠ADF=∠FDE\angle ADF = \angle FDE.
Substituting these into the equation:
12∘+∠FDE+∠FDE=90∘12^\circ + \angle FDE + \angle FDE = 90^\circ
2∠FDE=90∘−12∘=78∘2\angle FDE = 90^\circ - 12^\circ = 78^\circ
∠FDE=78∘2=39∘\angle FDE = \frac{78^\circ}{2} = 39^\circ

Answer

39∘39^\circ

1. Find $\angle ADE$

Since ABCDABCD is a rectangle, ∠ADC=90∘\angle ADC = 90^\circ.
∠ADE=90∘−∠CDE=90∘−12∘=78∘\angle ADE = 90^\circ - \angle CDE = 90^\circ - 12^\circ = 78^\circ.

2. Find $\angle DAE$ using the sum of angles in $\triangle ADE$

In △ADE\triangle ADE, the sum of angles is 180∘180^\circ. Since FF lies on AEAE, ∠AED=∠DEF=43∘\angle AED = \angle DEF = 43^\circ.
∠DAE=180∘−∠ADE−∠AED=180∘−78∘−43∘=59∘\angle DAE = 180^\circ - \angle ADE - \angle AED = 180^\circ - 78^\circ - 43^\circ = 59^\circ.

3. Find $\angle FAG$

Since ∠DAB=90∘\angle DAB = 90^\circ and GG lies on ABAB,
∠FAG=∠EAB=90∘−∠DAE=90∘−59∘=31∘\angle FAG = \angle EAB = 90^\circ - \angle DAE = 90^\circ - 59^\circ = 31^\circ.

Answer

31∘31^\circ
