Question

What is the measure of ∠JLN? 124 130 134 140

Answer 1

∠ JLN = 140°

Explanation:

∠ JLN and ∠ JLK are a linear pair and sum to 180° , that is

4x + 16 + x + 9 = 180

5x + 25 = 180 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

5x = 155 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 31

Then

∠ JLN = 4x + 16 = 4(31) + 16 = 124 + 16 = 140°
