Nowhere does it says that AB||DE. How do you assume such?

Notice the arrow symbols in the respective lines AB and DE. In geometry, it indicates that the two lines are parallel to each other.

It was thanks to FLVS where I got this question and others for now. I was helping students getting ready for their EOC.

As we reference upon the theory of all interior angles summing up to 180°, the interior angle of 32° of AngleMLK is used to find the difference of angleBKM. Thus, we would apply, 180° - 32°. Thus, our answer results, 148° for angke BKM.

The line FG and the angle marked 107 are completely irrelevant to the question.

I solved it way faster if they already said A P ∣ ∣ D E AP || DE
