Let's take a look at our triangle:

(Drawing not to scale nor with exact measurements. Just illustrative)

Using the law of cosines, we can say that:


i^2=h^2+g^2-2gh\cos (91)

Solving for i ,


\begin{gathered} i^2=h^2+g^2-2gh\cos (91) \\ \rightarrow i=\sqrt[]{h^2+g^2-2gh\cos (91)} \\ \rightarrow i=\sqrt[]{93^2+53^2-2\cdot93\cdot53\cdot\cos (91)} \\ \Rightarrow i=108 \end{gathered}

Thereby, we can conclude that:


i=108\text{ in}
