we know that

In a Rhombus the two diagonals bisect each other at right angle

so

m∠MLO=m∠MLP+m∠OLP

m∠MLP=m∠OLP

m∠MLO=2*m∠MLP --------> equation
1

in this problem we have

m∠MLO=
112\°

substitute the value in the equation
1


112\°=2*m∠MLP

m∠MLP=
112\°/2

m∠MLP=
56\°

therefore

the answer is

the measure of angle MLP is
56\°
