To find the measure of arc NL, I would need additional information about the arc and the circle or the diagram you are referring to. However, if we assume that NL is an arc in a circle, there are a few general principles that we can use to determine the measure of arc NL.

1. If arc NL is a minor arc (an arc that is smaller than a semicircle), its measure in degrees is equal to the measure of the central angle that intercepts it.

2. If arc NL is a major arc (an arc that is larger than a semicircle), its measure is equal to 360 degrees minus the measure of the minor arc associated with the same two endpoints.

3. If you have the length of arc NL and the radius of the circle (r), you can use the formula for the length of an arc (s) which is \( s = r \theta \), where \( \theta \) is the central angle in radians. To find the measure in degrees, you then convert radians to degrees using \( \theta (degrees) = \theta (radians) \times \frac{180}{\pi} \).
