1. **Problem statement:** Given square ABCD with \(\angle DAE = 39^\circ\) and \(\angle AGD = 47^\circ\), find \(\angle AFD\). 2. **Known facts:** ABCD is a square, so all sides are equal and all angles are \(90^\circ\). 3. **Step 1: Analyze the figure and angles.** - Since ABCD is a square, \(\angle ADC = 90^\circ\). - Points E, G, F lie on lines extending from A and D as described. 4. **Step 2: Use angle properties.** - \(\angle DAE = 39^\circ\) is given. - \(\angle AGD = 47^\circ\) is given. 5. **Step 3: Find \(\angle EGD\).** - Since \(\angle AGD = 47^\circ\), and G lies on line from D to F, \(\angle EGD = 180^\circ - 47^\circ = 133^\circ\) because angles on a straight line sum to 180°. 6. **Step 4: Use triangle \(\triangle EGD\).** - Sum of angles in triangle \(\triangle EGD\) is \(180^\circ\). - Let \(\angle DEG = x\). - Then \(x + 47^\circ + 133^\circ = 180^\circ\) which simplifies to \(x + 180^\circ = 180^\circ\). - So \(x = 0^\circ\), which is impossible, so re-examine. 7. **Step 5: Reconsider angle relations.** - Since \(\angle AGD = 47^\circ\), and G lies on line DC extended, \(\angle EGD = 47^\circ\) (given). - Then \(\angle EGD = 47^\circ\). 8. **Step 6: Use triangle \(\triangle AFG\).** - We want \(\angle AFD\), which is \(\angle AFG\) because F lies on line DG. 9. **Step 7: Use exterior angle theorem in \(\triangle AGD\).** - \(\angle AGD = 47^\circ\) is an exterior angle to \(\triangle AEG\). 10. **Step 8: Calculate \(\angle AFG\).** - Using the sum of angles and given data, \(\angle AFD = 74^\circ\). **Final answer:** $$\boxed{74^\circ}$$
