### Problem Statement:

**In this square, find the value of each variable.**

### Diagram Description:

The diagram shows a square with a diagonal line dividing it into two right triangles. The variables are assigned as follows:

- **e** is the angle adjacent to the variables **g** and **h**.
- **f** is the angle adjacent to the variables **h** and the expression **3p + 4**.
- **g** is the angle adjacent to the variables **e** and **h**.
- **h** is the length of the side adjacent to the variables **e** and **f**.
- One side of the square is labeled as **3p + 4**.
- The diagonal of the square is labeled as **6p - 3**.

### Given Tasks:

Calculate the values of the following variables:

- \( e = \) ______ degrees
- \( f = \) ______ degrees
- \( g = \) ______ degrees
- \( h = \) ______ 
- \( p = \) ______

### Explanatory Steps:

1. **Identify the properties of a square:**
   - All four angles are 90 degrees.
   - All sides are equal in length.
   - The diagonals of a square are equal in length and bisect each other at 90 degrees angles.

2. **Analyze the given expressions and relationships:**
   - The sides are expressed in terms of \( p \).
   - The diagonal's length can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem in right triangles formed by dividing the square.

3. **Solve for each variable step-by-step:**
   - Use the properties of the square and the Pythagorean theorem to find the side length \( h \).
   - Substitute the side length into the expressions to solve for \( p \).
   - Use trigonometric relationships or properties of angles in the square to determine angles \( e \), \( f \), and \( g \).
