m<N = 76°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

∆JKL and ∆MNL are isosceles ∆ (isosceles ∆ has 2 equal sides).

m<J = 64° (given)

Required:

m<N

SOLUTION:

m<K = m<J (base angles of an isosceles ∆ are equal)

m<K = 64° (Substitution)

m<K + m<J + m<JLK = 180° (sum of ∆)

64° + 64° + m<JLK = 180° (substitution)

128° + m<JLK = 180°

subtract 128 from each side

m<JLK = 180° - 128°

m<JLK = 52°

In isosceles ∆MNL, m<MLN and <M are base angles of the ∆. Therefore, they are of equal measure.

Thus:

m<MLN = m<JKL (vertical angles are congruent)

m<MLN = 52°

m<M = m<MLN (base angles of isosceles ∆MNL)

m<M = 52° (substitution)

m<N + m<M° + m<MLN = 180° (Sum of ∆)

m<N + 52° + 52° = 180° (Substitution)

m<N + 104° = 180°

subtract 104 from each side

m<N = 180° - 104°

m<N = 76°

the answer is c

hope this !
