g + 100 = 360
g + 100 = 360

g + 100 = 90
g + 100 = 90

g + g = 100
g + g = 100

g + 100 = 180
g + 100 = 180

To determine the correct equation for the measure of \( g \), we need to consider the context provided by the problem.

  • If \( g + 100 = 360 \), this would imply that \( g \) plus 100 equals a full circle (360 degrees). This might be relevant in certain contexts, such as angles in a circle.

  • If \( g + 100 = 90 \), this suggests that the angle \( g \) plus 100 equals a right angle (90 degrees). This could be for specific geometric constructs.

  • If \( g + g = 100 \), this means \( 2g = 100 \). Here, \( g \) would be half of 100, which is not commonly used in standard angle measures.

  • Lastly, if \( g + 100 = 180 \), this suggests that \( g \) plus 100 equals a straight angle (180 degrees), which is a common scenario in problems involving supplementary angles.

Without additional context, it seems that \( g + 100 = 180 \) might be the most appropriate choice if we are considering angles that add up to 180 degrees, which is often the case in geometry when dealing with supplementary angles.

Based on standard geometry, the most logical equation to determine \( g \) would be:

g + 100 = 180
