Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of JK is 68.27 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$\frac{KL}{KM}= \frac{JK}{KL}$

(KL)² = (KM)(JK)

(32)² = (15)(x)

x = $\frac{1024}{15}$

x = 68.2666

x ≈ 68.27

Therefore, length of JK is 68.27 units.
