In the figure above, KL//NM, LN bisects < KNM. If angles KLN is 54o and angle MKN is 35°, calculate the size of angle KMN.

A.

91°

B.

89°

C.

37°

D.

19°

Correct Answer: 37°

Explanation

In the diagram above, α = 54o(alternate angles; KL||MN) < KNM = 2α (LN is bisector of < KNM) = 108° 35° + < KMN + 108° = 180°(sum of angles of △ ) < KMN + 143° = 180° < KMN = 180° - 143° = 37°

In the diagram above, α = 54o(alternate angles; KL||MN) < KNM = 2α (LN is bisector of < KNM) = 108° 35° + < KMN + 108° = 180°(sum of angles of △ ) < KMN + 143° = 180° < KMN = 180° - 143° = 37°
