Correct Answer: 84

Rationale

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