The angle of elevation from L to K measures 39°. If KL = 12, find JL. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

KL is the hypotenuse of a right triangle   and JL is the adjacent side.......we need the cosine function, here

 

cos (39)  =  JL / 12      rearrange

 

12 * cos(39)  = JL  = about 9.3

 

 

 

cool cool cool
