5

6. We need to find the measure of angle F, which is labeled as $x^{\circ}$, and round to the nearest tenth of a degree.

2. Solution Steps

Since we are given the side opposite to angle F (GH) and the hypotenuse (FH), we can use the sine function to find the angle F.
sin(x)=oppositehypotenusesin(x) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
sin(x)=GHFHsin(x) = \frac{GH}{FH}
sin(x)=5698sin(x) = \frac{56}{98}
To find the value of xx, we need to take the inverse sine (arcsin) of 5698\frac{56}{98}.
x=arcsin(5698)x = arcsin(\frac{56}{98})
Using a calculator, we find:
x=arcsin(5698)34.84990167x = arcsin(\frac{56}{98}) \approx 34.84990167 degrees
Rounding to the nearest tenth of a degree, we get:
x34.8x \approx 34.8 degrees

3. Final Answer

34.8 degrees
