Answer:

FG ≈ 6.0 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan53° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{GE}{FG}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7.9}{FG}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by FG

FG × tan53° = 7.9 ( divide both sides by tan53° )

FG = [tex]\frac{7.9}{tan53}[/tex] ≈ 6.0 ft
