Problem

Two lines ℓ\ell and mm are perpendicular and intersect at point OO. A third line nn also passes through OO making an acute angle with ℓ\ell. (i) If the acute angle ∠ℓON=(5y−11)∘\angle \ell ON=(5y-11)^\circ and its adjacent angle ∠mON=(3y+41)∘\angle mON=(3y+41)^\circ, find the value of yy. (ii) Hence calculate the measures of ∠ℓON\angle \ell ON and ∠mON\angle mON. (iii) Find the measures of all the remaining angles formed at OO by the three lines ℓ\ell, mm, and nn.
