Hello,

tan KLJ=6/8=3/4
=> mes angle KLJ=36.8698976558...°≈36.87 °
Answer B.

Answer:

The correct option is b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is

[tex]A=length\times width[/tex]

The area of rectangle is 48 square units and the width of the rectangle is 6 units.

[tex]48=length\times 6[/tex]

Divide both sides by 6.

[tex]8=length[/tex]

The length of the rectangle is 8.

In a right angled triangle,

[tex]\tan\theta=\frac{perpendicular}{base}[/tex]

In triangle JKL,

[tex]\tan (\angle KLJ)=\frac{JK}{KL}[/tex]

Opposite sides of a rectangle are same.

[tex]\angle KLJ=\tan^{-1}(\frac{6}{8})[/tex]

[tex]\angle KLJ\approx 36.87[/tex]

The measure of angle KLJ is 36.87. Therefore the correct option is b.
