256/y + y = 36

256/y + y²/y = 36y/y

y² - 36y +256 = 0

use the quadratic formula to get 18+2√17 and 18-2√17. ugly numbers but they work!

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

m<M = 113 deg

m<N = 61 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

In an inscribed quadrilateral, opposite angles are supplementary.

m<M + m<K = 180

m<N + m<L = 180

m<M + 67 = 180

m<M = 113

m<N + 119 = 180

m<N = 61
