Given:

In triangle EFG,
EF=10√(2), m\angle G=90^\circ,m\angle E=60^\circ.

To find:

The measures of FG, EG and angle F.

Solution:

In triangle EFG,


m\angle E+m\angle F+m\angle G=180^\circ [Angle sum property]


60^\circ+m\angle F+90^\circ=180^\circ


m\angle F+150^\circ=180^\circ


m\angle F=180^\circ-150^\circ


m\angle F=30^\circ

In a right angle triangle,


\sin \theta=(Perpendicular)/(Hypotenuse)


\sin E=(FG)/(EF)


\sin (60^\circ)=(FG)/(10√(2))


(√(3))/(2)* 10√(2)=FG


5√(6)=FG

Similarly,


\sin F=(EG)/(EF)


\sin (30^\circ)=(EG)/(10√(2))


(1)/(2)* 10√(2)=EG


5√(2)=EG

Therefore, the required measures are
FG=5√(6), EG=5√(2), m\angle F=30^\circ.
