Answer:


m=20°; n=45°

Explanation:

Ok, let's first look at the right triangle. It's a right triangle, and it's isosceles. It means the two small angles are both 45°. So we've found n. Finding m is a simple matter of noticing that the larger triangle is also isosceles, so the two angles both measure 45+m, and the final angle is 50. But since the total has to be 180 we can write that
(45+m)+(45+m) +50 = 180.\\2m+50 = 90 \rightarrow 2m=40 \rightarrow m=20
