Answer:

KJ = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Point K is the centroid of the triangle, it is the point where all the medians intercept. The distance from the centroid to the midpoint of one side is 1/3 of the length of the median. So, we can calculate the length of KJ as follows


\begin{gathered} KJ=(1)/(3)(FJ) \\ \\ KJ=(1)/(3)(45) \\ \\ KJ=15 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is

KJ = 15
