The image shows a pentagon with five interior angles. Three of the angles are given as \(112^\circ\), \(115^\circ\), and \(82^\circ\), while two angles are expressed as \(4x^\circ\) and \(3x^\circ\).

To solve for \(x\), we will use the fact that the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by the formula:

\[
\text{Sum of interior angles} = 180^\circ \times (n - 2)
\]
where \(n\) is the number of sides of the polygon. For a pentagon (\(n = 5\)):

\[
\text{Sum of interior angles} = 180^\circ \times (5 - 2) = 540^\circ
\]

Now, we can set up an equation summing all the interior angles:

\[
4x + 3x + 112^\circ + 115^\circ + 82^\circ = 540^\circ
\]

Let me calculate the value of \(x\).The value of \(x\) is \(33^\circ\).

Thus, the two unknown angles are:
\[
4x = 4 \times 33^\circ = 132^\circ
\]
\[
3x = 3 \times 33^\circ = 99^\circ
\]

Here are five related questions to expand on this:
1. How do you calculate the sum of interior angles for polygons with more than 5 sides?
2. How would the solution change if the polygon was a hexagon?
3. Can you prove why the sum of interior angles of a pentagon is always 540 degrees?
4. How can you use exterior angles to verify this solution?
5. How would the equation change if one of the angles was given in radians?

**Tip**: Always check that the sum of the calculated interior angles equals the total expected sum to avoid mistakes.
