We are given a circle with an arc $KL$ measuring $111^\circ$. We need to find the measure of angle $KLM$, where lines $KL$ and $LM$ appear to be tangent to the circle. The lines that appear to be tangent are indeed tangent.

1. Problem Description

We are given a circle with an arc KLKL measuring 111111^\circ. We need to find the measure of angle KLMKLM, where lines KLKL and LMLM appear to be tangent to the circle. The lines that appear to be tangent are indeed tangent.

2. Solution Steps

The angle KLMKLM is formed by two tangents to the circle. Let the measure of arc KLKL be xx. The measure of the major arc KLKL is 360x360^\circ - x.
The angle formed by two tangents is half the difference of the intercepted arcs.
In this case, x=111x = 111^\circ.
Then the measure of the major arc KLKL is 360111=249360^\circ - 111^\circ = 249^\circ.
The measure of KLM\angle KLM is half the difference between the measures of the intercepted arcs:
mKLM=12(360111)111=12249111=12138=12(138)=69m\angle KLM = \frac{1}{2} |(360^\circ - 111^\circ) - 111^\circ| = \frac{1}{2} |249^\circ - 111^\circ| = \frac{1}{2} |138^\circ| = \frac{1}{2} (138^\circ) = 69^\circ.
