Math Problem Statement

Find the missing interior angles of the given polygons.

Solution

Let's go through each polygon and calculate the missing angles step by step:

  1. Figure 1: This is a quadrilateral. The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360°. 135+60+50+x=360135^\circ + 60^\circ + 50^\circ + x = 360^\circ Solving for xx: x=360(135+60+50)=360245=115x = 360^\circ - (135^\circ + 60^\circ + 50^\circ) = 360^\circ - 245^\circ = 115^\circ

  2. Figure 2: This is also a quadrilateral. The sum of the angles should equal 360°. 90+50+x+90=36090^\circ + 50^\circ + x + 90^\circ = 360^\circ Solving for xx: x=360(90+50+90)=360230=130x = 360^\circ - (90^\circ + 50^\circ + 90^\circ) = 360^\circ - 230^\circ = 130^\circ

  3. Figure 3: This is a triangle, and the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. 60+x+x=18060^\circ + x + x = 180^\circ Solving for xx: 2x=18060=120    x=1202=602x = 180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ \implies x = \frac{120^\circ}{2} = 60^\circ

  4. Figure 4: This is a heptagon (7-sided polygon). The sum of the interior angles of a heptagon is: (72)×180=5×180=900(7-2) \times 180^\circ = 5 \times 180^\circ = 900^\circ Adding up the given angles: 130+138+122+130+120+130+x=900130^\circ + 138^\circ + 122^\circ + 130^\circ + 120^\circ + 130^\circ + x = 900^\circ Solving for xx: x=900(130+138+122+130+120+130)=900770=130x = 900^\circ - (130^\circ + 138^\circ + 122^\circ + 130^\circ + 120^\circ + 130^\circ) = 900^\circ - 770^\circ = 130^\circ

  5. Figure 5: This is a quadrilateral. The sum of the interior angles is 360°. 120+107+70+x=360120^\circ + 107^\circ + 70^\circ + x = 360^\circ Solving for xx: x=360(120+107+70)=360297=63x = 360^\circ - (120^\circ + 107^\circ + 70^\circ) = 360^\circ - 297^\circ = 63^\circ

  6. Figure 6: This is another quadrilateral. The sum of the interior angles is 360°. 50+90+140+x=36050^\circ + 90^\circ + 140^\circ + x = 360^\circ Solving for xx: x=360(50+90+140)=360280=80x = 360^\circ - (50^\circ + 90^\circ + 140^\circ) = 360^\circ - 280^\circ = 80^\circ

  7. Figure 7: This is a quadrilateral, and the sum of the interior angles is 360°. 60+60+120+x=36060^\circ + 60^\circ + 120^\circ + x = 360^\circ Solving for xx: x=360(60+60+120)=360240=120x = 360^\circ - (60^\circ + 60^\circ + 120^\circ) = 360^\circ - 240^\circ = 120^\circ

  8. Figure 8: This is a quadrilateral (specifically a rhombus). The sum of the interior angles is 360°. 140+140+40+x=360140^\circ + 140^\circ + 40^\circ + x = 360^\circ Solving for xx: x=360(140+140+40)=360320=40x = 360^\circ - (140^\circ + 140^\circ + 40^\circ) = 360^\circ - 320^\circ = 40^\circ

Final Answers:

  1. x=115x = 115^\circ
  2. x=130x = 130^\circ
  3. x=60x = 60^\circ
  4. x=130x = 130^\circ
  5. x=63x = 63^\circ
  6. x=80x = 80^\circ
  7. x=120x = 120^\circ
  8. x=40x = 40^\circ
