**Geometry Problem: Finding the Measure of an Arc**

**Problem Statement:**

Find the measure of arc \( PJ \).

**Graph Description:**

A circle is presented with four points on its circumference labeled as \( P \), \( L \), \( K \), and \( J \). A central point, marked as \( M \), is connected to the points on the circumference with lines forming angles at \( M \). 

**Detailed Angles Provided:**

- Intersection at point \( M \) right between \( L \) and \( M \) is an angle of \( 78^\circ \).
- Intersection at point \( M \) right between \( K \) and \( M \) is an angle of \( 82^\circ \).

The task is to find the measure of the arc \( PJ \), which is drawn connecting points \( P \) and \( J \) along the circle's circumference.

**How to Solve:**

1. Determine the total measure of the circle which is \( 360^\circ \).
2. Subtract the sum of the given angles from \( 360^\circ \):
   - The sum of the given angles: \( 78^\circ + 82^\circ = 160^\circ \).
   - Total remaining degrees: \( 360^\circ - 160^\circ = 200^\circ \).

Therefore, the measure of arc \( PJ \) is \( 200^\circ \).

**Conclusion:**

The measure of arc \( PJ \) is \( 200^\circ \).
