Since the sum of angle M and angle L is 90°, we can set up the equation:
37 + (3x + 5) = 90
Now, solve for x:
37 + 3x + 5 = 90
42 + 3x = 90
3x = 48
x = 16
Now, substitute x back into the measure of angle L:
L = 3(16) + 5
L = 48 + 5
L = 53
Therefore, the measure of angle L is 53°.
The sum of the measure of angle M and angle L is 90°.
The measure of angle M is 37°.
The measure of angle L is (3x + 5)°.
