To solve this problem, we can use the trigonometric functions sine, cosine, and tangent. In this case, we will use the sine function since we have the opposite side (HI) and the hypotenuse (IG).
sin(26 degrees) = HI / 7.6m
HI = 7.6m * sin(26 degrees)
HI ≈ 7.6m * 0.4384
HI ≈ 3.33m
Therefore, the length of HI is approximately 3.3 metres.
Solve this Pythagorean: 7.6m, 26 degrees, I, G, H = ?. Find the length of HI to the nearest tenth of a metre
