Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image you provided contains a diagram and a question about a pentagon. Let me explain the situation:
Problem Context:
- The shape PORST is a regular pentagon.
- QPU, RVU, and STU are straight lines, as noted in the diagram.
- A calculation is shown that involves determining angles related to this pentagon.
Explanation of the Work on the Image:
-
Formula for interior angles of a polygon: The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by the formula: where is the number of sides of the polygon.
-
Applying to a pentagon: Since a pentagon has 5 sides, the sum of its interior angles is: Each interior angle of a regular pentagon is therefore: This is what is written down in the image.
-
Other calculations:
- The work indicates the calculation of angle , which is supplementary to the pentagon angle of (meaning their sum is ).
- Solving this gives .
Thus, the angle in this problem is , which aligns with the geometry of the pentagon and straight lines mentioned in the question.
