### Find the Measure of JK

**Problem Statement:**

Given the triangle \( \triangle IJK \), find the length of the side \( JK \).

**Diagram:**
```
         J
       /  \
      /    \
  24 /      \ 24
    /        \
I /____________\ K
            24
```

- Triangle \( \triangle IJK \) is an isosceles triangle with \( IJ = 24 \) and \( IK = 24 \).
- The base \( IK \) is also labeled 24, indicating that we have an equilateral triangle where all sides are equal in length.

**Answer:**

Since all sides of the equilateral triangle are equal:
\[ JK = 24 \]

Find the measure of \( JK \).

---

**Explanation:**

The diagram is an equilateral triangle \( \triangle IJK \) with all sides \( IJ \), \( IK \), and \( JK \) given as 24 units. By definition, in an equilateral triangle, all sides have equal length. Therefore, the measure of \( JK \) is also 24 units.
