1. Problem Description

We are given a diagram where PQPQ is a straight line. We have angles xx, yy, zz and mm such that m=12(x+y+z)m = \frac{1}{2}(x + y + z). We need to find the value of mm.

2. Solution Steps

Since PQPQ is a straight line, the sum of angles xx, yy, zz and mm is equal to 180 degrees.
x+y+z+m=180x + y + z + m = 180
We are given that m=12(x+y+z)m = \frac{1}{2}(x + y + z).
Multiplying both sides by 2, we get 2m=x+y+z2m = x + y + z.
Substituting x+y+z=2mx + y + z = 2m into the equation x+y+z+m=180x + y + z + m = 180, we get
2m+m=1802m + m = 180
3m=1803m = 180
m=1803m = \frac{180}{3}
m=60m = 60

3. Final Answer

The value of mm is 6060^\circ.
Answer: B. 60°
