Question
**Algebra: Find the values of \( m \) and \( n \).**

**Problem 14**

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows two triangles sharing a common side. 

- The left triangle is a right triangle with a 45-degree angle indicated.
- The angle adjacent to the right angle is labeled as 45 degrees, making this an isosceles right triangle.
- The larger triangle has the following:
  - An angle of 60 degrees near the center.
  - One angle labeled as \( n^\circ \) and another labeled as \( m^\circ \).
  - The bottom right angle links the two triangles.

**Equations and Relationships:**

1. **Main Triangle:**
   - Sum of angles in a triangle: \( 60^\circ + m^\circ + n^\circ = 180^\circ \)

2. **Sub-triangle (Right Triangle):**
   - Right angle = 90 degrees
   - Other angles = 45 degrees each; base angles of an isosceles right triangle

3. **Geometric Properties:**
   - The line with two identical markings indicates equal length sides.
   - The line with one identical marking at the bottom is marked for reference but has no additional data given.
