1. **State the problem:** We are given a circle H with angles \(m\angle DHG = 11x - 36\) and \(m\angle GHF = 3x + 12\). We need to find the value of \(x\) and the measure of \(\angle DGH\).
2. **Understand the relationship:** Since \(\angle DHG\) and \(\angle GHF\) are angles around point H on the circle, and assuming they are adjacent angles on a straight line or part of a triangle, their sum might be 180° or 360° depending on the figure. Usually, if these two angles are adjacent and form a straight line, their sum is 180°.
3. **Set up the equation:** Assuming \(\angle DHG + \angle GHF = 180^\circ\), we write:
$$11x - 36 + 3x + 12 = 180$$
4. **Simplify the equation:**
$$14x - 24 = 180$$
5. **Isolate \(x\):**
$$14x = 180 + 24$$
$$14x = 204$$
6. **Divide both sides by 14:**
$$x = \frac{204}{14}$$
$$x = \frac{\cancel{204}^{17} \times 12}{\cancel{14}^1 \times 7} = \frac{102}{7} \approx 14.57$$
7. **Find the measure of \(\angle DHG\):**
$$m\angle DHG = 11x - 36 = 11 \times \frac{102}{7} - 36 = \frac{1122}{7} - 36 = 160.29 - 36 = 124.29^\circ$$
8. **Find the measure of \(\angle GHF\):**
$$m\angle GHF = 3x + 12 = 3 \times \frac{102}{7} + 12 = \frac{306}{7} + 12 = 43.71 + 12 = 55.71^\circ$$
9. **Find the measure of \(\angle DGH\):** If \(\angle DGH\) is the third angle in triangle DHG, then:
$$m\angle DGH = 180 - m\angle DHG - m\angle GHF = 180 - 124.29 - 55.71 = 0^\circ$$
This suggests \(\angle DGH\) is 0°, which is unlikely, so \(\angle DHG\) and \(\angle GHF\) might be vertical angles and equal.
10. **Alternative assumption:** If \(m\angle DHG = m\angle GHF\), then:
$$11x - 36 = 3x + 12$$
$$11x - 3x = 12 + 36$$
$$8x = 48$$
$$x = 6$$
11. **Calculate angles with \(x=6\):**
$$m\angle DHG = 11(6) - 36 = 66 - 36 = 30^\circ$$
$$m\angle GHF = 3(6) + 12 = 18 + 12 = 30^\circ$$
12. **Find \(\angle DGH\):** If triangle DHG is formed, sum of angles is 180°:
$$m\angle DGH = 180 - 30 - 30 = 120^\circ$$
**Final answers:**
$$x = 6$$
$$m\angle DGH = 120^\circ$$
