The diagram is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

h = 7.7 cm

Explanation:

From the attached image, we can see that the hypotenuse is 15 cm with the opposite side being h cm.

The angle is 31°

Thus, using trigonometric ratio, we have;

h/15 = sin 31

h = 15 sin 31

h = 15 × 0.5150

h = 7.725

Approximating to 1 decimal place gives;

h = 7.7 cm
