Question: calculate the measure of angle JKL, i.e. mJKM+mMKL

Answer:

78°

Explanation:

angle JKM is a tangent-chord intersection angle and equals half of the intercepted arc KM of 76°. Thus

mJKM = 76/2 = 38°

angle MKL is an inscribed angle and equals half of the intercepted arc ML of 80°, Thus

mMKL = 80/2 = 40°.

Therefore angle JKL = 38°+40° = 78°.
