Answer:To determine the measurement of KL, we can use the concept of similar triangles and the corresponding sides.

In triangle XYZ, the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides is:

XY/XJ = XZ/JK = YZ/KL

Plugging in the given values:

8.7/10.44 = 8.2/JK = 7.8/KL

From this, we can solve for JK:

JK = (8.2 * 10.44) / 8.7 ≈ 9.84

Therefore, the measurement of KL is approximately 9.84.
