Since interior angles of any triangle add up to 180 degrees, we have


\angle MKH+\angle KHM+\angle KMH=180

Now, by substituting the given values, we get


90+51.6+\angle KMH=180

which gives


141.6+\angle KMH=180

Then, by subtracting 141.6 to both sides, we have


\angle KMH=38.4

Then, by comparing with the given options, the answer is the last option.
