We are given a circle with center $O$. Points $L$, $M$, and $N$ are on the circumference. We are given that $\angle NLM = 74^\circ$ and $\angle LMN = 39^\circ$. We need to find the measure of $\angle LOM$, which is denoted by $x$.

1. Problem Description

We are given a circle with center OO. Points LL, MM, and NN are on the circumference. We are given that NLM=74\angle NLM = 74^\circ and LMN=39\angle LMN = 39^\circ. We need to find the measure of LOM\angle LOM, which is denoted by xx.

2. Solution Steps

First, we find the measure of LNM\angle LNM in triangle LMNLMN. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180180^\circ, so
LNM=180NLMLMN=1807439=180113=67. \angle LNM = 180^\circ - \angle NLM - \angle LMN = 180^\circ - 74^\circ - 39^\circ = 180^\circ - 113^\circ = 67^\circ.
The angle subtended by an arc at the center of the circle is twice the angle subtended by the same arc at any point on the remaining part of the circumference.
In this case, LOM\angle LOM is the angle at the center subtended by arc LMLM, and LNM\angle LNM is the angle subtended by the same arc at point NN on the remaining circumference.
Therefore, we have
LOM=2LNM. \angle LOM = 2 \cdot \angle LNM.
Substituting the value of LNM\angle LNM we found earlier:
LOM=267=134. \angle LOM = 2 \cdot 67^\circ = 134^\circ.
Thus, x=134x = 134^\circ.

3. Final Answer

The value of xx is 134134^\circ.
The answer is A. 134134^\circ.
