### Finding Angles in a Triangle
**Jun 18, 6:54:46 PM**

#### Watch help video

In \( \Delta HIJ \), \( j = 1.9 \) inches, \( h = 3.4 \) inches and \( \angle I = 161^\circ \). Find \( \angle J \), to the nearest 10th of a degree.

**Answer:** 
\[ \boxed{} \]

*Submit Answer*

*attempt 1 out of 2*

---

**Explanation:**

In this problem, you are given certain measurements and an angle of a triangle and asked to find one of the other angles.

- \( \Delta HIJ \) represents a triangle with vertices \(H\), \(I\), and \(J\).
- Side \( j \) (opposite to vertex \( J \)) is 1.9 inches long.
- Side \( h \) (opposite to vertex \( H \)) is 3.4 inches long.
- The angle at vertex \( I \) is \( 161^\circ \).

To find \( \angle J \):
1. Apply the Law of Sines which states:

\[
\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}
\]

Given that:
\[
\frac{j}{\sin J} = \frac{h}{\sin H} = \frac{i}{\sin I}
\]

2. Rearrange and solve for \(\sin J\):

\[
\sin J = \frac{j \cdot \sin I}{h}
\]

3. Compute \(\angle J\) by taking the inverse sine (\(\sin^{-1}\)) of the result obtained.

Finally, ensure that the angle is rounded to the nearest 10th of a degree before submitting your answer.
