Solution

To solve a right triangle given two sides JK JK and JL JL along with one angle mK m\angle K , we can follow these steps:

  1. Break Down the Problem

    We are given:

    • Side JK JK (one leg of the triangle).
    • Side JL JL (the other leg of the triangle).
    • Angle mK m\angle K (one of the angles in the triangle).

    We need to compute the following:

    • The length of the hypotenuse KL KL .
    • The remaining angle mJ m\angle J .
  2. Relevant Concepts

    • Pythagorean Theorem: For a right triangle, the relation is given by: c2=a2+b2 c^2 = a^2 + b^2 Where c c is the hypotenuse, and a a and b b are the other two sides.
    • Angle Sum in a Triangle: The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. Thus, mJ+mK+90°=180° m\angle J + m\angle K + 90° = 180° Therefore: mJ=90°mK m\angle J = 90° - m\angle K
  3. Analysis and Detail

    • Assuming the lengths of the sides are as follows:
      • JK=a JK = a
      • JL=b JL = b
    • Using the Pythagorean theorem to find KL KL : KL=JK2+JL2=a2+b2 KL = \sqrt{JK^2 + JL^2} = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}
    • To find the angle mJ m\angle J : mJ=90°mK m\angle J = 90° - m\angle K
  4. Verify and Summarize

    • Calculate KL KL and confirm that the calculated values of angles and sides satisfy the conditions of a right triangle.
    • Summarize the measures of the sides and angles rounded as requested.

Final Answer

The measures of the triangle are as follows:

  • Side KL KL (hypotenuse) rounded to the nearest tenth.
  • Angle mJ m\angle J rounded to the nearest degree.

Please provide the specific values for JK JK , JL JL , and mK m\angle K so I can substitute and calculate the exact numbers for KL KL and mJ m\angle J .
