To determine the measure of angle \( mLKN \), we'll use the properties of parallel lines and a transversal.
Given that \( JL \) and \( MO \) are parallel lines, and that angle \( mONP = 132^\circ \), we need to identify the relationship between angle \( mONP \) and angle \( mLKN \).
Assuming angle \( mONP \) is an exterior angle formed by a transversal intersecting the parallel lines, \( mLKN \) will either be a corresponding angle, alternate interior angle, or same-side interior angle depending on their positions.
1. If \( mLKN \) is a corresponding angle to \( mONP \) (on the same side of the transversal but at different parallel lines), then:
\[
mLKN = mONP = 132^\circ
\]
2. If \( mLKN \) is an alternate interior angle, it will also be equal to \( mONP \):
\[
mLKN = 132^\circ
\]
3. If \( mLKN \) is a same-side interior angle, it would be supplementary to \( mONP \):
\[
mLKN + mONP = 180^\circ \implies mLKN = 180^\circ - 132^\circ = 48^\circ
\]
Without more specific information regarding the positions of \( LKN \) and \( ONP \), the likely scenario is that \( mLKN \) is either equal to \( mONP \) (132°) or if they are supplementary, then \( mLKN \) would be 48°.
Based on standard configurations, you can conclude that:
- If they are corresponding or alternate angles, \( mLKN = 132^\circ \).
- If they are same-side interior angles, \( mLKN = 48^\circ \).
