Answer:

Measure of angle M = 41°

Explanation:

From the figure attached,

NM ≅ NO [Given]

Therefore, ∠O ≅ ∠M [Opposite angle of the equal sides]

By triangle sum theorem,

m∠O + m∠N + m∠M = 180°

m∠O + m∠N + m∠O = 180° [Since, ∠M ≅ ∠O]

By substituting the values of the given angles,

(4y - 15)° + (7y)° + (4y - 15)° = 180°

(15y - 30) = 180

15y = 210

y = 14

Therefore, m∠M = (4y - 15)°

= 4(14) - 15

= 56 - 15

= 41°
