one more please help! http://www.rmes.us/AngelUploads/Content/MAT201//_assoc/Content/G%20Images/u2m3q4.jpg Use the Interior Angle Sum Conjecture to find the measure of angle a. For full credit, show your work or your reasoning.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2a=540-(180-70)-(180-68)-116-110\] \[2a=92\] \[a=46\] pentagon interior angles sum to 540 degrees and you can solve for the two unknown angles by subtracting their measures from 180 (seen above)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, to be more verbose, you can solve for the unlabeled unknown angles by subtracting their adjacent angle from 180 e.g. 180-70=110 and 180-68=112. also because angle "a" is indicated to be present twice, you can do as i did above and set the remainder from 540-110-112-116-110 equal to 2a, then divide your answer by 2 to yield the actual value of "a". good luck
