Question

Find the measure of side JK

Answer 1

In ΔIJK, the measure of ∠K=90°, JK = 90 feet, and KI = 54 feet. Find the measure of ∠I to the nearest tenth of a degree.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The length of JK is 94

From the diagram shown, we have that;

The sides JK and side KL are equal in length

Given that their lengths are;

JK = 6x - 26

KL = 3x + 34

Substitute the values

6x - 26 = 3x + 34

collect the like terms, we have;

3x = 60

Divide by the coefficient, we get that;

x = 20

Now, for the length JK, we have that the expression is;

JK = 6x - 26

JK = 6(20) - 26

JK = 120 - 26

JK = 94
