Math Problem Statement

its looking for the missing angles

Find the missing angles in the triangle and along the straight line in the provided diagram.

Solution

To solve for the missing angles in this problem, let's analyze the given angles and relationships between them in the triangle and adjacent lines.

Step-by-Step Breakdown:

  1. Angle at JJ (MJK):

    • The angle MJL\angle MJL is given as 132°, and since MJLMJL is a straight line, the angle next to it, KJL\angle KJL, can be found by subtracting 132° from 180° (angles on a straight line sum to 180°): KJL=180132=48.\angle KJL = 180^\circ - 132^\circ = 48^\circ.
  2. Angle at LL (KLN):

    • Similarly, for the straight line at point LL, KLN\angle KLN is supplementary to MLN=112\angle MLN = 112^\circ. Therefore, the angle KLM\angle KLM is: KLM=180112=68.\angle KLM = 180^\circ - 112^\circ = 68^\circ.
  3. Angle at KK:

    • To find JKL\angle JKL, the third angle in triangle JKLJKL, we use the fact that the angles in a triangle sum to 180°: JKL+KJL+KLM=180.\angle JKL + \angle KJL + \angle KLM = 180^\circ. Substituting the known values: JKL+48+68=180,\angle JKL + 48^\circ + 68^\circ = 180^\circ, JKL=180116=64.\angle JKL = 180^\circ - 116^\circ = 64^\circ.
  4. Finding xx:

    • The angle at KK is expressed as (2x+4)(2x + 4). From the previous calculation, we know that JKL=64\angle JKL = 64^\circ, so: 2x+4=64.2x + 4 = 64^\circ. Solving for xx: 2x=644=60,2x = 64^\circ - 4^\circ = 60^\circ, x=602=30.x = \frac{60}{2} = 30^\circ.

Final Answers:

  • KJL=48\angle KJL = 48^\circ,
  • KLM=68\angle KLM = 68^\circ,
  • JKL=64\angle JKL = 64^\circ,
  • x=30x = 30^\circ.
