    Draw a triangle and label it JKL. The two legs are KJ and JL. Label the angle formed by JL and LK with 24 ° and the length of KL as 19.

    To find JL, the Pythagorean theorem is used. Use the relationship between the adjacent side of the angle and the hypotenuse:

    Cosine θ = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

    Cos (24) = JL / 19

    solve for JL = 17.35
