See the attached figure.
m ∠KAJ = 170° & m ∠LAM = 80°
We should know that :
m ∠KAJ + m ∠LAM + m ∠KAL + m ∠MAJ = 360°
∴ m ∠KAL + m ∠MAJ = 360° - (m ∠KAJ + m ∠LAM)
∴ m ∠KAL + m ∠MAJ = 360° - (170°+80°) = 360° - 250° = 110°
But : m ∠KAL = m ∠MAJ ⇒⇒⇒ <u>Opposite angles.</u>
∴ m ∠MAJ + m ∠MAJ = 110°
∴ 2 * m ∠MAJ = 110°
∴ m ∠MAJ = 110° ÷ 2 = 55°
<u>So, the answer is : m ∠MAJ = 55°</u>
You don't say whether this is a right triangle or not.
Assuming it is a right triangle, then we use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of the hypotenuse:
(hypo) = (length of third side) = √(12^2 + 4^2) = √(144+16) = √160 = 4√10.
This is approx. 12.65 inches. Since this does not match any of the possible answer choices, we'll have to take a different approach to answering this question.
Given that 2 sides of the given triangle are 12 and 4 inches, respectively, we see that the 3rd side has to be longer than 8 inches; otherwise we'd have three line segments on the same line, not forming a triangle.
By this reasoning, 9 inches is the only possible answer that could be correct. With sides 12, 9 and 4 inches, the triangle would be obtuse and appear quite flat, but not be part of a straight line as with a third side of 8.
