### Problem Statement **Question 3: What is the tangent ratio of angle KJL?** ### Diagram Description The diagram depicts an isosceles triangle \(JKL\) with \(J\) and \(K\) as the endpoints of the equal sides, and \(L\) as the opposite vertex. The triangle is divided into two right triangles by line \(ML\), where \(M\) is the midpoint of \(JK\). - \( \angle JLM = 30^\circ\) - \( \angle KLM = 30^\circ\) - The length \(JK = 48\) - \(ML\) is perpendicular to \(JK\), hence \( \angle JML\) and \( \angle KML\) are right angles (\(90^\circ\)). ### Answer Choices 1. \( \frac{24}{48} \) 2. \( \frac{48 \sqrt{3}}{48} \) 3. \( \frac{24 \sqrt{3}}{48} \) ### Explanation To solve for the tangent of \( \angle KJL\): 1. Identify the right triangle, \( \triangle JML\). 2. Use \( \angle JLM = 30^\circ \) to find \( \tan(30^\circ) \). 3. Apply the formula \( \tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} \) where \( \theta=30^\circ \). For \( \angle JLM = 30^\circ \): - Opposite side to \( \angle JLM \): \( ML \) - Adjacent side to \( \angle JLM \): \( JM \) Since \(JK = 48\) and \(M\) is the midpoint (\( JM = MK = \frac{48}{2} = 24\)): - Tangent of \(30^\circ\) is \( \frac{ML}{JM} = \frac{ML}{24} \) - Note that \( ML = 24 \times \tan(30^\circ)\) Given that \( \tan(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \), we can simplify: \[ \tan(\angle JLM) = \frac{24 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{24} = \frac{24
