Using the circle theorems, the value of z is 45

Circle Geometry

From the question, we are to determine the value of z

From the given information,

KM is a diameter

∴ ∠KLM = 90° (Angle in a semicircle)

Also, ΔKLM is isosceles

∴ ∠KML = ∠MKL (Base angles of an isosceles triangle)

Then,

∠KML + ∠MKL + ∠KLM = 180° (Sum of angles in a triangle)

2× ∠KML + 90° = 180°

2× ∠KML = 180° - 90°

2× ∠KML = 90°

∠KML = 90°/2

∠KML = 45°

Now, we can observe that

z° = ∠KML (Angles in alternate segment)

But,

∠KML = 45°

∴ z = 45

Hence, the value of z is 45
