Answer

Step 3: Round the height to the nearest tenth: \( h \approx 5.3 \) inches

Steps

Step 1 ：Step 1: Convert the angle to radians: \( \alpha = \frac{16\pi}{180} \) radians

Step 2 ：Step 2: Calculate the height using sine: \( h = 19\sin{\alpha} \)

Step 3 ：Step 3: Round the height to the nearest tenth: \( h \approx 5.3 \) inches
