Find the measure of the missing angle,without using a protractor

Find the measure of the missing angle, without using a protractor.

Solution

To find the measure of the missing angle, let's analyze the given diagram step by step:

  1. The given angle LKM=60\angle LKM = 60^\circ.
  2. LJK\angle LJK is a right angle (9090^\circ), meaning LKM\angle LKM and MKJ\angle MKJ must sum up to 9090^\circ because they are complementary.
  3. Therefore, we can find MKJ\angle MKJ as: MKJ=9060=30\angle MKJ = 90^\circ - 60^\circ = 30^\circ

So, the missing angle MKJ\angle MKJ is 30 degrees.
