Sandy is at point J, looking at a silo. The lines of sight are tangent to the silo at points K and M. The distance from J to K is 23 meters. The angle at point J is 44 degrees. We need to find the distance from J to M.

1. Problem Description

Sandy is at point J, looking at a silo. The lines of sight are tangent to the silo at points K and M. The distance from J to K is 23 meters. The angle at point J is 44 degrees. We need to find the distance from J to M.

2. Solution Steps

Since JK and JM are tangents from the same external point J to the circle, they must be congruent.

$JK = JM$

Given $JK = 23$ meters, then $JM = 23$ meters.

3. Final Answer

23 meters
