Answer:
H = 62.7 degrees
Explanation:
Because this is a right triangle, we can use one of the trigonometric functions to find angle H:
Notice that sides HJ and IJ are given. If we are trying to find angle H, then HJ is the hypotenuse (longest side) and IJ is the opposite (side opposite to the angle we are trying to find). Since the opposite and hypotenuse are both given, we can use a sine function to find the angle of H (keep in mind that sin(<) = opp/hyp):
sin(H) = 8/9
We have to use the inverse of sine (sin^-1 or arcsin) to find angle H and use a calculator to solve:
arcsin(8/9) = H = 62.7 degrees
