Answers:

x = angle MLN = 35 degrees

angle FLJ = 55 degrees

=================================================

Explanation:

This problem is fairly tricky if you're not sure what to look for. A slight clue is that they've marked a red point that strangely doesn't have a label on it. It's a fairly small point but it's definitely there if you look closely. While this point's location isn't exactly what we want, we're fairly close. Start at point L and draw a ray through the center point P. Ray LP will intersect the circle at point A, as shown in the diagram below.

From here, draw segments FA and MA. Now notice that inscribed angle LMF = 55 and inscribed angle FAL both subtend the same arc. The term "subtend" basically means "cut off". This arc that the inscribed angles subtend is minor arc FL. A minor arc is where you travel the shorter path around the circle, which indicates its measure is less than 180 degrees.

Since inscribed angles LMF and FAL subtend the same minor arc, this makes the inscribed angles to be congruent.

In short: angle FAL is 55 degrees

----------------------

Segment LA goes through the center P. Through Thales theorem, we know that inscribed angle LFA is 90 degrees. Consequently, we can determine that inscribed angle FLA is 90-55 = 35 degrees.

Segment JL is tangent to the circle, meaning that angle ALJ is 90 degrees. So angle FLJ is 90-35 = 55 degrees.

It's not a coincidence that angle FLJ, angle FAL, and angle LMF are the same measure.

----------------------

We found that angle FAL was 55 degrees. Applying Thales theorem again shows that angle MAF is 90 degrees. Therefore, angle LAM is 90-55 = 35 degrees.

Focus now on triangle LMA. This is also a right triangle (Thales Theorem). The upper acute angle we found was angle LAM = 35, so the lower acute angle is ALM = 55.

Then we can find angle MLN = (angle ALN) - (angle ALM) = 90 - 55 = 35

In short, angle MLN = 35 degrees

Similar to the previous section, it is not a coincidence that angles LFM, LAM and MLN are the same measure.

------------------------

As an alternative, since we know angle FLJ = 55, and angle FLM is 90 degrees, this means...

(angle FLJ)+(angle FLM) + (angle MLN) = 180

55 + 90 + angle MLN = 180

145 + angle MLN = 180

angle MLN = 180 - 145

angle MLN = 35 degrees

Answer:

120 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to tackle this is by getting another sheet of paper and drawing it out, then counting up the total of the sides. If you draw it, you can see that you're dealing with a rectangle; two sides of length 12 and two sides of length 8. If you don't like drawing or don't want to in this case, another way to get the answer is by knowing one vertex is at (0, 0), so the next vertex (0, 8), would create a side that's exactly 8 units long. Kind of the same, you know from (0, 0), you also have a point (12, 0), so drawing that would create a side that's 12 units long. All in all, to get the perimeter in units, you have 12 + 12 + 8 + 8 = 40.

The problem says it wants the amount of wood in centimeters needed for the perimeter. What we just found was the perimeter in generic units, so if the problem says every "grid square", or unit, is 3 centimeters long, then all you have to do is take our result 40 and multiply it by 3 to get the number of centimeters. Your perimeter in centimeters would be 120 cm.
