Answer:

JK = 13

Explanation:

Note that corresponding sides are congruent.

Thus ST = KL and JK = RS

Given ST = 16RS and KL = 13JK + 39, thus

KL = 13JK + 39 ( KL = ST = 16RS ), substituting

16RS = 13RS + 39 ( JK = RS )

Subtract 13RS from both sides

3RS = 39 ( divide both sides by 3 )

RS = 13

However, RS and JK are corresponding sides and congruent, thus

JK = RS = 13
