The measure of angle KLM is 48 degrees

What is effect of dilation on size of angles

Dilation is a transformation in geometry that resizes or scales a figure by a constant factor while maintaining the same shape.

When a figure undergoes dilation, the size of angles within the figure remains unchanged.

However the distances between points, including the lengths of segments and the dimensions of the figure, are uniformly multiplied or divided by the dilation factor.

In this case, the scale factor is half. This will not affect the size of angle
