Answer:
largest angle = 280°
Step-by-step explanation:
let the common factor be x
40°+60°+1x+3x+7x=540° ( angle sum property of Pentagon)
100°+ 11x = 540°
11x = 540° - 100°
= 440°
x = 440/11
= 40°
7x=7*40
= 280°
Answer: 280°
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the angle sum property of Pentagon. The formula for that is (n-2)*180 where 'n' means number of sides.
No. Of sides in Pentagon= 5
So, the sum of all the interior angles of pentagon= (5-2)*180
=> 3*180 = 540°
ATQ, angles of the Pentagon are 60°, 40°, 1x, 3x and 7x ( given that, 1:3:7, x represents the common factor in the ratio.
=> 60 + 40 + 1x + 3x + 7x = 540
=> 100 + 11x = 540
=> 11x = 540-100
=> 11x = 440
=> x = 440/11 = 40
The measure of 1x = 1(40) = 40°.
The measure of 3x = 3(40) = 120°.
The measure of 7x = 7(40) = 280°.
40° =40°<60°<120°<280°
Therefore, the largest angle is 280°
