Explanation

The correct answer is 84 . The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. It's given that in triangle JKL, the measures of ∠Kand ∠L are each 48°. Adding the measures, in degrees, of ∠K and ∠L gives 48+48, or 96 . Therefore, the measure of ∠J, in degrees, is 180-96, or 84 .
