### Understanding Parallelograms: Calculations of Lengths and Angles

**The figure below is a parallelogram. Fill in each indicated measure.**

![Parallelogram Diagram](image_url) *(Note: Include the provided image here for visual reference.)*

1. **Given Values:**
     - \( \angle JIK = 26^\circ \)
     - \( \angle KIM = 48^\circ \)
     - Length \( IM = 14 \) inches
     - Length \( KM = 10 \) inches

2. **Required Measures:**
   - Length \( JK \)
   - Length \( JI \)
   - Measure \( m \angle KME \)
   - Measure \( m \angle JIM \)
   - Measure \( m \angle EMI \)

3. **Explanation of the Diagram:**
   - Points \( J, K, I, \) and \( M \) form the vertices of a parallelogram.
   - Point \( E \) appears to be an intersection of diagonals within the parallelogram.
   - Angles and side lengths needed for calculation are marked within the diagram.

4. **Calculation Steps:**

   - **Step 1:** *Determine Length \( JK \):*
     Since opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal:
     \[ \text{JK} = \text{IM} = 14 \text{ inches} \]
     
   - **Step 2:** *Determine Length \( JI \):*
     Similarly,
     \[ \text{JI} = \text{KM} = 10 \text{ inches} \]
    
   - **Step 3:** *Measure \( m \angle KME \):*
     As diagonals in parallelograms bisect each other and opposite angles are equal, calculate:
     \[ \angle KME = \angle KIM = 48^\circ \]
     
   - **Step 4:** *Measure \( m \angle JIM \):*
     Angles around point \( I \) that include:
     \[ \angle JIM = 180^\circ - \angle JIK = 180^\circ - 26^\circ = 154^\circ \]

   - **Step 5:** *Measure \( m \angle EMI \):*
     Opposite angles in parallelograms are equal:
     \[
