The length of the hypotenuse, line segment GH, in triangle GJH measures 6 cm. Line segment JH measures 2 cm.

Which is the approximate measure of angle JGH?

18.4°
19.5°
70.5°
71.6°

Since GH is the hypotenuse, the right angle is at J. For angle JGH, the side opposite is JH, so

sin(JGH) = (opposite)/(hypotenuse) = 2/6 = 1/3.

JGH = arcsin(1/3) ≈ 19.5°.
