Answer:
x ≈ 7.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the sine ratio in the right triangle
sin69° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{HI}{GI}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7.2}{x}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by x )
x × sin69° = 7.2 ( divide both sides by sin69° )
x = [tex]\frac{7.2}{sin69}[/tex] ≈ 7.7 ( to the nearest tenth )
