Answer:
sqrt(292) = JK
The approximate answer is
17.08800749 = JK
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
We know the legs JL and LK and are looking for the hypotenuse JK which is opposite and L which is the right angle
6^2 + 16^2 = JK ^2
36 +256 = JK ^2
292 = JK^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(292) = sqrt( JK^2)
sqrt(292) = JK
The approximate answer is
17.08800749 = JK
