The angles are as displayed in the drawing above, the angle "L" is interior, which means it will split the JKM angle in two. The value of JKM will be the sum of JKL and LKM. With this in mind let's find JKM.


\begin{gathered} \angle JKM\text{ = }\angle JKL\text{ + }\angle LKM \\ \angle JKM\text{ = 42+28=70} \end{gathered}

The value of JKM is 70 degrees.
