Angle NLM is 78 degrees

A way to do this is to find the arc measure of NM and then divide it by 2 to find the angle of NLM

So first subtract

360-110=250

To find the remaining amount of the arc measures. Which is 250 degrees

Next set arc measures NM and ML together to 250 to find what x equals.

14x+16+9x+4=250

Combine like terms

23x+20=250

Subtract 20 from both sides

23x=230

Divide 23 from both sides

x=10.

Then substitute 10 for the equation representing the arc measure of NM.

14(10)+16

140+16

156

The arc measure of NM is 156 degrees


The angle NLM is an inscribed angle. Meaning that it is half of the arc that intersects.

156/2

78

Angle NLM is 78 degrees
