1. Identify the lengths of $EG$ and $HF$ in terms of the square's side length.
Let the side length of the square be .
Since is a vertical line segment from to , .
Since is a horizontal line segment from to , .
We are given , so .
2. Find the lengths of $HI$ and $EI$.
The vertical line and horizontal line intersect at right angles at . By symmetry (since ), is the midpoint of .
Thus, .
In the right-angled , using Pythagoras' theorem:
.
3. Calculate $\angle HGI$ and hence $\angle FGH$.
The length of is .
In the right-angled :
.
Rationalising the denominator:
.
.
By symmetry, .
Therefore, .
