From the midpoint of the hypotenuse of a right triangle, a perpendicular line is drawn to intersect one of the legs. Let the point of intersection be denoted as . The segment connecting point to the endpoint of the other leg divides the angle at the vertex opposite the hypotenuse in the ratio of , with the smaller angle adjacent to the hypotenuse. Determine the measure of this angle.
