Answer:

GH = 57.2 feet

Explanation:

Given the following

m<I = 90 degrees

<G = 5 degrees

IG = 57 feet

Required

Length of GH

According to the data given

GH is the hypotenuse

iG is the adjacent side to m<G

Cos theta = adj/hyp

Cos 5 = IG/GH

Cos 5 = 57/GH

GH = 57/cos 5

GH = 57/0.9962

GH = 57.2 feet
