I had previously summed the angles to 180 but it should have been 360.
There is still a problem.
Check the values of LMH,LMN, and HMN and verify that they are correct.

Here's a diagram showing the lines and angles.
LMN%2BHMN%2BLMH=360
44x%2B3%2B96%2B20x%2B3=360
64x%2B102=360
64x=258
x=258%2F64
x=129%2F32
So then,
LMN=44x%2B3
LMN=44%28129%2F32%29%2B3
LMN=1419%2F8%2B24%2F8
LMN=1443%2F8
LMN=180%263%2F8
