Final answer:

To find the measure of angle L in the parallelogram LMNO with given angles, set up an equation and solve for x. Substitute the value of x into angle L to find its measure.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the measure of angle L in the parallelogram LMNO, we need to know the value of angle L.

Given that angle L is equal to 9x + 92 and angle M is equal to 3x + 40, we can set up an equation:

9x + 92 = 180 - (3x + 40)

Simplifying the equation, we get:

9x + 92 = 180 - 3x - 40

Combining like terms, we have:

12x + 92 = 140 - 3x

Adding 3x to both sides, we get:

15x + 92 = 140

Subtracting 92 from both sides, we get:

15x = 48

Dividing both sides by 15, we get:

x = 48 / 15 = 3.2

Now we can substitute the value of x into angle L:

angle L = 9(3.2) + 92

= 28.8 + 92

= 120.8 degrees
