Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a polygon with various interior and exterior angles labeled, and the goal is to find the value of .
Step-by-step explanation:
-
Identify the interior angles: The polygon has interior angles of 60°, 70°, 70°, and one unknown angle .
-
Sum of interior angles of a polygon: For a polygon with sides, the sum of the interior angles is given by: This polygon has 5 sides (pentagon), so the sum of the interior angles is:
-
Set up the equation: The sum of the given interior angles, including , should equal 540°:
-
Solve for : First, sum up the known angles: Now subtract this sum from 540°:
Thus, .
