Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Find W using the right triangle altitude theorem:

Thus,

W = √(15/2 × 10)

W = √75

W = 8.7 (nearest tenth)

✔️Find J using Pythagorean Theorem:

J² = W² + (15/2)²

J² = 8.7² + (15/2)²

J² = 131.94

J = √131.94

J = 11.5 (nearest tenth)

✔️Find A using Pythagorean Theorem:

A² = W² + (10)²

A² = 8.7² + (10)²

A² = 175.69

A = √175.69

A = 13.3 (nearest tenth)
