In the figure shown, NK and ML are parallel, JN=10 feet, NK=14 feet, JL=22 feet, and ML=24. Find KL.
Not enough info.
I don't have the figure to look at.
Where is JN?
Where is JL?
Where is KL?
Is this a triangle, a square, etc?
Without a detailed description, your question cannot be answered.

Sorry, I was trying to draw the figure
here's a link to the photo:
Its a triangle with JN and NM on the left side and JK and KL on the right side. NK is a horizontal line in the middle of the triangle. The triangle isn't equilateral. The right side is obtuse.
To find KL, we can use the property of parallel lines and a transversal.
Given that NK and ML are parallel, we can observe that the segments JN and KL are transversals, intersecting these parallel lines.
Let's use the property that for any two parallel lines and a transversal, the corresponding angles are equal.
By looking at the figure, we can see that angle JNK and angle KLM are corresponding angles, and they are equal.
Given that NK = 14 feet and JL = 22 feet, we can subtract JN (10 feet) from JL to find the length of KL.
So KL = JL - JN = 22 feet - 10 feet = 12 feet.
Therefore, KL is equal to 12 feet.
