To find the measurement of angle \( \angle NKI \), we first need to analyze the given angles and their relationships.

  1. The measure of \( \angle JKI \) is given as 56 degrees.

  2. Carlos constructs ray \( KM \) as the bisector of \( \angle JKI \). Therefore:

    \[ \angle JKM = \angle MKI = \frac{56}{2} = 28 \text{ degrees} \]

  3. Next, Carlos constructs ray \( KN \) as the bisector of \( \angle MKI \). Since \( \angle MKI = 28 \) degrees, we find:

    \[ \angle NKI = \frac{28}{2} = 14 \text{ degrees} \]

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

The correct response is:

  • The measurement of \( \angle NKI \) is 14 degrees.
