We are given a circle with chords $EI$ and $FG$ intersecting inside the circle. We are given the measure of arc $EI$ is 65 degrees, and we need to find the measure of angle $x$, which is angle $EFI$. Since $GHI$ appears to be a diameter (although it is not explicitly stated), the center of the circle is on this segment.

1. Problem Description
We are given a circle with chords and intersecting inside the circle. We are given the measure of arc is 65 degrees, and we need to find the measure of angle , which is angle . Since appears to be a diameter (although it is not explicitly stated), the center of the circle is on this segment.
2. Solution Steps
We are looking for . Since is an inscribed angle, its measure is half the measure of the intercepted arc . So, .
We know that . If is a diameter, then is a radius, and therefore is the center of the circle. If is a diameter, then the arc has the same measure as the angle subtends from the circle. However, the picture is not precise enough to confirm whether is a diameter.
However, is an inscribed angle that intercepts arc . is also an inscribed angle that intercepts arc . The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc. Therefore,
Since the inscribed angles and intercept the same arc , is half of arc . This is incorrect, the angles and don't intercept the same arc.
It looks as if intercepts the arc .
If the question is asking for the measure of angle which is labeled as , and if it is a central angle that intercepts the arc , then it should have the same measure of that arc. However, it is not a central angle. Instead, the angle is an inscribed angle which intercepts the arc .
Also, we need to assume that arc is equal to arc to obtain a solution. But there is no information indicating .
intercepts arc , and intercepts arc .
It appears that the question wants you to assume that arc has the same measure as angle , which would mean that .
In this case, , where is the measure of arc .
The measure of the inscribed angle EFI is half the measure of the intercepted arc FI.
Also, assuming that the arc GI and the arc FI have the same measure since the lines EG and FI are parallel, then .
However, the problem does not provide enough information to determine the value of .
If we assumed arc had the same measure as arc , then:
However, we can't assume that they are the same.
3. Final Answer
There is not enough information provided to solve for x.
