Question

In △JKL, solve for x.

Triangle JKL where angle K is a right angle. KL measures 34; JK measures x; angle J measures 27 degrees.

Answer 1

You need to use trigonometry. K is a right angle which makes JK opposite of angle L. Angle L is 90°-angle J or 63°. So using tangent:
\[34\tan (63°)= your answer\]
