Answer:

The length of GI is 90.06 units

Explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

GH = 60 units

HI = 42 units

∠H = 123°

2. Using the Law of Cosines, we can find the length of GI, this way:

GI² = GH² + HI² - 2 * GH * HI * cos ∠H

Replacing with the real values:

GI² = 60² + 42² - 2 * 60 * 42 * cos ∠123°

GI² = 3,600 + 1,764 - 2 * 60 * 42 * -0.545

GI² = 3,600 + 1,764 - 2 * 60 * 42 * -0.545

GI² = 3,600 + 1,764 + 2,746.8

GI² = 8,110.8

GI = √ 8,110.8 = 90.06 units
