Answer:

96°

Explanation:

The given quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, so its opposite angles are supplementary, which means that the sum of their measures is 180∘.

The measures of the opposite angles in the quadrilateral are given as (6m + 1 3)∘ and (4m + 7)∘.

Equate the sum of the given measures to 180∘.

6m + 13 + 4m + 7 = 180

Combine like terms.

10m + 20 = 180

Subtract 20 from both sides.

10m = 160

Divide both sides by 10.

m = 16

Substitute 16 for m into the expression given for the measure of angle M and simplify.

6m = 6(16)

=96∘

Therefore, m∠M = 96∘.
