I can use the angle and the length of JH to find the length of IJ.
To do this, I look at the relationship IJ and JH have to the 52 degree angle. JH is opposite to angle I, and IJ is adjacent to angle I. Because the two side lengths are opposite and adjacent, I use the tangent function to solve this.
Tangent of an angle = the length of the opposite side / the length of the adjacent side. This is just another way to say tan(x)=opposite/adjacent
Now I can fill in what I know...
tan(52)=4.2/x
Now, I want to isolate x.
tan(52) = 4.2/x
x(tan(52))=4.2
x=4.2/tan(52)
Now I put 4.2/tan(52) into a calculator and get x = 3.3 ft
Hope this helps!

Answer:
JL
Step-by-step explanation:
given by the way the triangles were originally written, the logical answer would be JL because it is in the same order that EG is written in the order of the triangle.
