First, can you classify what shape this is?

Maybe xD So do you know what shape has 5 sides?

Answer 6

pentagon

Answer 7

Yep, so do you know how much the interior angles measure of a pentagon?
(n-2)(180)

Answer 8

Not really, i'm really bad a geometry

Answer 9

take the number of sides, subtract 2, and then multiply that by 180= that is the measure of the interior angles

Answer 10

for the whole question i ended up with 90, is that correct?

Answer 11

Plug in 90 for x, and add up all the angles and make sure you get 540
