Answer:

62 degrees

Explanation:

HJ is a line which means its 180 degrees if HIL is 118 degrees then LIJ is 62 degrees and due to the lines being parallel then MLN is also 62 degrees

So, we know that ∠HIL = 118, and we also know that a line is 180 degrees. This means that ∠HIL +∠JIL = 180. We can use simple arithmetic and substitution to find that 180-118= 62, so ∠JIL = 62.

We have another line, Line N, so we know that the line is equal to 180 as well! Because ∠JIL and ∠ILM are both on this line, ∠JIL +∠ILM = 180. ∠JIL = 62, so 180 - 62 = 118.

Lastly, Line N is still equal to 180, so ∠ILM + ∠MLN = 180. In this case, we have 180-118=62, so ∠MLN = 62.

Or, using theorems, there is an easier way to do this.

The corresponding angles theorem tells us that "If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, the corresponding angles are congruent." So, we can see that both ∠MLN and ∠JIL are corresponding so they are congruent. First, however, we need to find ∠JIL, and if we look at our work from above, we see that ∠JIL = 62. Since ∠JIL and ∠MLN are congruent, or the same, ∠MLN is also 62.
