Answer:

m∠F = 45°

Explanation:

Notice the lengths of the given sides and the right angle. This is enough information to prove that this is a 45-45-90 triangle, or just basically a square cut diagonally.

Regardless if even just one side is given for a 45-45-90 triangle, all 45-45-90 triangles have one thing in common. The sides that form the right angle are equivalent and the hypotenuse is equal to one of the sides that form the right angle times the square root of two. I'm aware that it sounded confusing, as I'm awful at explaining, so just look at the picture I've attached instead of trying to understand my explanation that seemed like trying to learn a second language.

Look at the picture. See that FD = x times that square root of 2 and that DE = x. Now look back at your picture. It's connecting, now isn't it?

Now that we know that this is indeed a 45-45-90 triangle, we can confirm that m∠F = 45°
