Carlos constructed the angle bisector of ∠JKI by constructing ray KM . Carlos then constructed the angle bisector of ∠MKI by constructing ray KN . If the measurement of ∠JKI is 56 degrees, what is the measurement of ∠NKI ?(1 point)ResponsesThe measurement of ∠NKI is 112 degrees.The measurement of angle upper N upper K upper I is 112 degrees.The measurement of ∠NKI is 14 degrees.The measurement of angle upper N upper K upper I is 14 degrees.The measurement of ∠NKI is 28 degrees.The measurement of angle upper N upper K upper I is 28 degrees.The measurement of ∠NKI is 7 degrees.

1 answer

To find the measurement of angle \( NKI \), we can follow these steps based on the information provided:

  1. The measure of angle \( JKI \) is given as \( 56^\circ \).
  2. Carlos first constructs ray \( KM \), which bisects angle \( JKI \). This means that the measure of angle \( MKI \) is half of \( JKI \). \[ \text{Measure of } \angle MKI = \frac{1}{2} \times 56^\circ = 28^\circ \]
  3. Next, Carlos constructs ray \( KN \), which bisects angle \( MKI \). Therefore, the measure of angle \( NKI \) is half of \( MKI \). \[ \text{Measure of } \angle NKI = \frac{1}{2} \times 28^\circ = 14^\circ \]

Thus, the measurement of angle \( NKI \) is \( 14^\circ \).

The correct response is: The measurement of angle \( NKI \) is 14 degrees.
