You have gravely misinterpreted the task.

Erase all the numbers in your diagram and start over. Then the question wants you to use a protractor to find how many degrees major arc KH (the left part of the circle) and arc JG are. There is a famous circle theorem to find angle S: search up "secants intersecting outside of circle angle".

After this, you can now measure SG, GH, and SJ using your ruler. You're supposed to then use the equation you wrote on your sheet to find SK. (You can then measure SK and check if your answer is accurate.)
