Answer:
∠ EML = 94°
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached diagram.
The three angles ∠ NME, ∠ EML and ∠ NML together make 360°.
Now, ∠ NME = x + 97, ∠ EML = x + 66 and ∠ NML = 141°
Hence, (x + 97) + ( x + 66) + 141 = 360
⇒ 2x + 304 = 360
⇒ 2x = 56
⇒ x = 28
So, ∠ EML = x + 66 = 28 + 66 = 94° (Answer)
First notice that the triangle with sides 
and the triangle with sides 
are similar. This is true because the angle between sides 
in the smaller triangle is clearly 
, while the angle between sides 
in the larger triangle is clearly 
. So the triangles are similar with sides corresponding to 
, respectively.
Now both triangles are
, which means there's a convenient ratio between its sides. If the length of the shortest leg is 
, then the length of the longer leg is 
and the hypotenuse has length 
.
Since
is the shortest leg in the larger triangle, it follows that 
, so 
Now both triangles are
Since
