I'd say angle A = angle B
arc tangent (angle B) = 150 / 555
<span><span><span>arc tangent (angle B) = 0.2702702703

angle B = 15.124 degrees
By the way 555 feet is the height of the Washington Monument.

Answer:
MK
Step-by-step explanation:
ML is the short side of right triangle MLK. MJ is the hypotenuse of right triangle MKJ. This gives you a clue that the ratios of interest are the short side to the hypotenuse. All these right triangles are similar, so ...
ML/MK = MK/MJ . . . . . ratio of short side to hypotenuse is the same
ML·MJ = MK² . . . . . . . cross multiply
MK = √(ML·MJ) . . . . . the geometric mean of ML and MJ is MK
