In ΔLMN, the bisectors of ∠L and ∠N intersect at an angle of 112°. What is the measure (in degrees) of ∠M? |
62 60 44 72 |
44 |
In, \(\Delta \)LMN, ON is the bisector of ∠N and OL is the bisector of ∠L ∠NOL= 112° So, ∠NOL = \({90}^\circ\) + ∠\(\frac{M}{2}\) ⇒ \({112}^\circ\) = \({90}^\circ\) + ∠\(\frac{M}{2}\) ⇒ ∠\(\frac{M}{2}\) = \({112}^\circ\) - \({90}^\circ\) ⇒ ∠\(\frac{M}{2}\) = \({22}^\circ\) ⇒ ∠M = \({22\; × \;2}^\circ\) ⇒ ∠M = \({44}^\circ\) Therefore, ∠M is \({44}^\circ\). |
