1. Problem Description

Find the angle at point KK. Given that the angle at point MM is 6060^\circ and the angle at point PP is 4040^\circ. Also, the line through KK is parallel to the line through MM.

2. Solution Steps

Since the line through KK is parallel to the line through MM, the angle KMPKMP is the same as the angle at KK on the side KMKM. Let's call the angle at MM aa.
Then, the angle a=60a=60^\circ.
In triangle KMPKMP, the sum of angles is 180180^\circ. Therefore,
a+P+K=180a + \angle P + \angle K = 180^\circ
60+40+K=18060^\circ + 40^\circ + \angle K = 180^\circ
100+K=180100^\circ + \angle K = 180^\circ
K=180100\angle K = 180^\circ - 100^\circ
K=80\angle K = 80^\circ

3. Final Answer

The angle at K is 80 degrees.
