What is the value of x? The figure shows 2 right triangles, triangle K L J with right angle J and triangle L J M with right angle M. The measure of angle L K J is 30 degrees. The measure of angle L J M is 45 degrees. The length of side K L is 8 square root 2. The length of side L M is x. Enter your answer in the box.

Answer: The length of side X is 4.

In triangle KLJ, the hypotenuse is 8 square roots of 2. The side opposite the 30 degree angle is half of that amount. Therefore, it is only 4 square roots of 2.

That side is also the hypotenuse in the 45 45 90 triangle. To find the leg, we simply divide by the square root of 2. We will end of with legs that are 4.

Answer:

x = 4

i just took the test, good luck :)
