find the angle measure x in the following figure.
Answers
Answer:
x = 50 °
Step-by-step explanation:
The given angles in question were,
90° , 70° , 60°, 90°
Now lets look at the 60° angle :
The adjacent angle at the interior of the pentagon is not given
So let's take that angle to be 'y'
Now let's apply the linear pair property
60° + y = 180° => y = 180 - 60 => y = 120°
However the 90° angle at the interior is already given
Now let's look at the 90° exterior angle
The adjacent angle at the interior is not given
Let that angle be 'z'
So ,now let's apply the linear pair property again
90° + z = 180° => z = 180- 90 => z = 90°
Now let's go to the 70° exterior angle
There is an adjacent interior angle for it which is not given
So let that me 'm'
Now let's apply the linear pair property
70° + m = 180 ° => m = 180- 70 => m = 110°
So no we have totally found 4 interior angles.
But a pentagon has 5 angles right!!
We have not found another
So let that be 'h'
So as we know the sum of interior angle in a pentagon is 540°
=>110° + 90° + 120° + 90° + h = 540°
=>410° + h = 540° => h = 540 - 410 =>h = 130°
So now look at angle x ,
the angle 130° is adjacent to it right
As we can see that 130° and x are linear pair angles
x + 130° = 180° => x = 180- 130
=> x = 50°
