1. **State the problem:** We have a right triangle UTS with a right angle at vertex U.
The side UT is 56 units, and the side US is $28\sqrt{2}$ units.
We need to find the measure of angle $\angle T$.
2. **Identify the sides relative to angle $\angle T$:**
- Side opposite $\angle T$ is US = $28\sqrt{2}$.
- Side adjacent to $\angle T$ is UT = 56.
3. **Use the tangent ratio:**
The tangent of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side.
$$\tan(\angle T) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{US}{UT} = \frac{28\sqrt{2}}{56}$$
4. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$\frac{28\sqrt{2}}{56} = \frac{\cancel{28}\sqrt{2}}{\cancel{56} \times 2} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$$
5. **Find the angle $\angle T$:**
We know that
$$\tan(\angle T) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$$
Using the inverse tangent function,
$$\angle T = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)$$
6. **Evaluate the angle:**
$$\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) = 35^\circ$$ (approximately)
**Final answer:**
$$m \angle T = 35^\circ$$
