The correct answer is B. 55.8 degrees.
To find the measure of angle G, you can use the inverse sine function (sin^-1) which is the ratio of the opposite side (EF) to the hypotenuse (FG).
sin(G) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(G) = 8/12
G = sin^-1(8/12)
G = sin^-1(0.66667)
G ≈ 41.4 degrees
The angle G is approximately 41.4 degrees, which is the correct answer from the options provided.
