1. Problem Description

We are given a circle with center MM. The measure of arc KLKL is given as mKL^=74m \widehat{KL} = 74^\circ.
We need to find:
(a) mKMLm \angle KML
(b) mKJLm \angle KJL

2. Solution Steps

(a) The measure of a central angle is equal to the measure of its intercepted arc. Therefore,
mKML=mKL^m \angle KML = m \widehat{KL}.
Since mKL^=74m \widehat{KL} = 74^\circ, we have mKML=74m \angle KML = 74^\circ.
(b) The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc.
mKJL=12mKL^m \angle KJL = \frac{1}{2} m \widehat{KL}
Since mKL^=74m \widehat{KL} = 74^\circ, we have mKJL=12(74)=37m \angle KJL = \frac{1}{2} (74^\circ) = 37^\circ.

3. Final Answer

(a) mKML=74m \angle KML = 74^\circ
(b) mKJL=37m \angle KJL = 37^\circ
