Question
![**Triangle Geometry Problem**
**Problem Statement:**
Given a right triangle \( \triangle EGF \) with the following dimensions:
- \( EF = 12 \) inches (opposite side of the right angle at E)
- \( FG = 18.6 \) inches (hypotenuse)
- \( x \) denotes the length of the adjacent side \( EG \)
**Visual Representation:**
There is a right-angled triangle \( \triangle EGF \) where angle \( E \) is the right angle. The triangle is labeled with vertex \( E \) at the right angle, \( F \) at the other end of the base, and \( G \) at the top vertex. Each side has a given measurement:
- \( EF = 12 \) in. is attached vertically to the right angle.
- \( FG = 18.6 \) in. represents the hypotenuse.
- \( EG \) is labeled as \( x \).
**Question:**
Which is the best approximation for the measure of angle \( EGF \)?
**Answer Choices:**
- A) \( 32.8^\circ \)
- B) \( 40.2^\circ \)
- C) \( 49.8^\circ \)
- D) \( 57.2^\circ \)](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F1fefc4e4-0fc1-4d3a-92e0-1dd9cbc9acda%2F5db698cc-324d-4bcf-ab15-09c061f9e51f%2Fawdqger_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
