Question

Solve for x. Round to two decimal places if necessary.

Answer 1

Length of JK is 68.27 units.

Explanation:

By applying geometric mean theorem (leg theorem) in the triangle attached,

`(KL)/(KM)= (JK)/(KL)`

(KL)² = (KM)(JK)

(32)² = (15)(x)

x =
`(1024)/(15)`

x = 68.2666

x ≈ 68.27

Therefore, length of JK is 68.27 units.
