Answer:

mKML+mMLK=mJKM

Explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. Types of triangles are scalene, acute, obtuse, equilateral, isosceles, and right triangle.

As shown in the diagram, polygon MLK is a triangle. The sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180°, hence:

m∠MLK + m∠KML + m∠MKL = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle).

m∠MKL = 180 - (m∠MLK + m∠KML) (1)

Also along line JL, the sum of angles on one side of a straight line is 180°, therefore:

m∠JKM + m∠MKL = 180° (sum of angles in a straight line)

m∠JKM + m∠MKL = 180° (2)

From equations 1 and 2, equating give:

m∠JKM + [180 - (m∠MLK + m∠KML)) = 180

m∠JKM + 180 - m∠MLK - m∠KML = 180

m∠JKM = m∠MLK + m∠KML
