Answer:

Length of hypotenuse JH = 9.2 unit (Approx.)

Length of perpendicular JG = 6.5 unit

Explanation:

Given:

Length of base GH = 6.5 unit

Angle of H = 45°

Find:

Length of perpendicular JG

Length of hypotenuse JH

Computation:

Using trigonometry function:

Tan θ = Perpendicular / Base

Tan 45 = Perpendicular / 6.5

1 = Perpendicular / 6.5

Perpendicular = 6.5

Length of perpendicular JG = 6.5 unit

hypotenuse = √perpendicular² + base²

Length of hypotenuse JH = √6.5² + 6.5²

Length of hypotenuse JH = √42.25 + 425.25

Length of hypotenuse JH = √84.5

Length of hypotenuse JH = 9.1923

Length of hypotenuse JH = 9.2 unit (Approx.)
