### Solve for the measure of ∠ACM in the parallelogram. Show your work and explain how you got your answer.

**Diagram Explanation:**
- The diagram provided is a parallelogram MONY.
- Two diagonals, MY and ON, intersect at point C, forming four smaller triangles within the parallelogram.
- The parallelogram has the following given angles and measures:
  - ∠NMY = 30°
  - ∠XNY = 40°
  - ∠MCY = 72°

#### Solution Steps:

1. **Understanding Properties of Parallelograms:**
   Parallelograms have several properties that are useful for solving this problem:
   - Opposite sides are equal and parallel.
   - Opposite angles are equal.
   - Consecutive angles are supplementary.
   - Diagonals bisect each other, meaning they cut each other into two equal parts.

2. **Identify the Angles:**
   Given:
   - ∠NMY = 30°
   - ∠XNY = 40°
   - ∠MCY = 72°

   We need to find the measure of ∠ACM.

3. **Using the Properties of Triangles:**
   Since MY and ON intersect at C, they form several triangles within the parallelogram. Specifically, diagonal bisecting properties and internal triangle angle sum properties will be used.

4. **Finding ∠ACM:**
   The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180°.

   Given that in triangle MCY:
   - ∠MCY = 72°
   - ∠MYC = ∠ACM (same angle as ∠NMY due to opposite angles in parallel lines)

   This means:
   - ∠MCY + ∠MYC + ∠CMY = 180°
   - 72° + 30° + ∠CMY = 180°

   Solving for ∠CMY:
   - 102° + ∠CMY = 180°
   - ∠CMY = 180° - 102° = 78°

Therefore, the measure of ∠ACM is 78°. 

By clearly understanding the properties of parallelograms and applying triangle angle sum properties, we can determine that the measure of ∠ACM is 78°.
