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:

  1. Formula for interior angles of a polygon: The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by the formula: Sum of interior angles=(n2)×180\text{Sum of interior angles} = (n - 2) \times 180^\circ where nn is the number of sides of the polygon.

  2. Applying to a pentagon: Since a pentagon has 5 sides, the sum of its interior angles is: (52)×180=3×180=540(5 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 3 \times 180^\circ = 540^\circ Each interior angle of a regular pentagon is therefore: 5405=108\frac{540^\circ}{5} = 108^\circ This is what is written down in the image.

  3. Other calculations:

    • The work x+108=180x + 108^\circ = 180^\circ indicates the calculation of angle xx, which is supplementary to the pentagon angle of 108108^\circ (meaning their sum is 180180^\circ).
    • Solving this gives x=180108=72x = 180^\circ - 108^\circ = 72^\circ.

Thus, the angle xx in this problem is 7272^\circ, which aligns with the geometry of the pentagon and straight lines mentioned in the question.

Would you like further details or clarification?

Here are 5 related questions to explore this topic further:

  1. What is the formula for the exterior angles of a regular polygon?
  2. How can we calculate the sum of the interior angles of any polygon?
  3. What are the properties of a regular pentagon besides equal sides and angles?
  4. How do supplementary and complementary angles work in different polygons?
  5. Can the angle sum formula be extended to non-convex polygons?

Tip: Always verify if a polygon is regular (equal sides and angles) before applying the equal angle formula.
