Question

Kite LMNO is shown below.

What is the measure of angle M

Answer 1

<M = 78°

Explanation:

The sum of angles in a kite is 360°.

One of the properties of a kite is that one pair of opposite angles are equal.

Since it is not <L and <N, it must be <O and <M

Therefore:

<O = <M = x

=> x + x + 130 + 74 = 360

2x + 204 = 360

2x = 360 - 204

2x = 156

x = 156/2 = 78°

This means that <M = 78°
