Math Problem Statement
In rectangle EFGH, let M be the midpoint of EF, and let X be a point such that MH=MX, as shown below. If if <EFH=32 and <MHX=68 then find <XGH in degrees.
Asymptote code below
[asy] unitsize(1 cm);
pair A, B, C, D, M, X;
A = (0,3); B = (4,3); C = (4,0); D = (0,0); M = (A + B)/2; X = rotate(26,M)*(D);
draw(A--B--C--D--cycle); draw(D--M--X--cycle); draw(C--X); draw(B--D);
label("$E$", A, NW); label("$F$", B, NE); label("$G$", C, SE); label("$H$", D, SW); label("$M$", M, N); label("$X$", X, S); [/asy]
