To find the measure of UFK, we need to use the fact that supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees.

We have mUFK = 2n° and m<KFL = (3n + 30)°.

Since these angles are supplementary, their measures add up to 180 degrees:

2n + (3n + 30) = 180.

Simplifying the equation, we have:

2n + 3n + 30 = 180.

Combining like terms:

5n + 30 = 180.

Subtracting 30 from both sides:

5n = 150.

Dividing both sides by 5:

n = 30.

Now we can find the measure of UFK using the value of n:

mUFK = 2n = 2(30) = 60°.

Therefore, the measure of UFK is 60°.

The correct answer is C) 60°.
