Answer:
The measure of ∠JKL is 65°
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided diagram.
We need to find the degree measure of ∠JKL.
It is given that ∠JKM=45° and ∠MKL=x°
Also it is given that the measure of angle JKL can be represented using the expression 3x + 5.
Thus ∠JKL=3x+5
From the figure it can be concluded that ∠JKL is equal to the sum of ∠JKM and ∠MKL
This can be written as:
∠JKL = ∠JKM+∠MKL
Substitute the respective values in the above equation.
3x+5 = 45+x
Subtract x and 5 from both the sides.
3x+5-x-5 = 45+x-x-5
2x = 40
x = 20
Thus, the measure of ∠MKL=20°
Substitute the value of x in ∠JKL = 3x+5.
∠JKL = 3(20)+5
∠JKL = 60+5
∠JKL = 65
Hence, the measure of ∠JKL is 65°
