(5x−12)+(3x+18)=180(5x - 12) + (3x + 18) = 180 8x+6=1808x + 6 = 180 8x=180−68x = 180 - 6 8x=1748x = 174 x=1748x = \frac{174}{8} x=21.75x = 21.75

Step 3: Calculate the size of each interior angle.
Substitute x=21.75x = 21.75 into the expressions for ∠N\angle N and ∠M\angle M.

∠N=5x−12∘=5(21.75)−12=108.75−12=96.75∘\angle N = 5x - 12^\circ = 5(21.75) - 12 = 108.75 - 12 = 96.75^\circ ∠M=3x+18∘=3(21.75)+18=65.25+18=83.25∘\angle M = 3x + 18^\circ = 3(21.75) + 18 = 65.25 + 18 = 83.25^\circ

In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal.

∠K=∠M=83.25∘\angle K = \angle M = 83.25^\circ ∠L=∠N=96.75∘\angle L = \angle N = 96.75^\circ

The interior angles are:

∠K=83.25∘\angle K = \boxed{83.25^\circ} ∠L=96.75∘\angle L = \boxed{96.75^\circ} ∠M=83.25∘\angle M = \boxed{83.25^\circ} ∠N=96.75∘\angle N = \boxed{96.75^\circ}
