Answer:

FG-220.2 feet

Explanation:

The base of the triangle is FH

The perpendicular of the triangle GH=57 feet

The hypotenuse of the triangle is FG

We know that

sin∠F=Perpendicular/Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse= Perpendicular/sin∠F

Hypotenuse= 57/sin∠15

Hypotenuse=220.23109

Round of to nearest tenth

Hypotenuse=220.2 feet
