Sum of interior angles=(n-2)*180
Here n=5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what would all of the angles have to equal? like 360 degrees?
OpenStudy (hba):
You will know what will be the sum when you use the formula above :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it would be (5-2)* 180?

Yeah :)
Continue....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
540?
OpenStudy (hba):
Yeah so
Sum of measure of interior angles=540
Now Add all the angles up and equate it equal to 540
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well with the three i know the 148 112 and 90 they add up to 350
OpenStudy (hba):
Also 2x+10 and 2x add them up too.

so then 350=2x+10=2x? to find x?
OpenStudy (hba):
Noo
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how do i find x from there?
OpenStudy (hba):
I said add all the angles
So,
148+122+90+(2x+10)+2x=540
Now solve for x :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ok

so then x=45?
OpenStudy (hba):
No.
OpenStudy (hba):
Did you get
x=85/2

how do you do the parenthesis?
OpenStudy (hba):
Add them straight up.
Show me your work.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh its 112 not 122
OpenStudy (anonymous):
148+112+90+2x+10+2x=540
350+2x+10+2x
360+4x?
OpenStudy (hba):
haha lol :P

OpenStudy (hba):
360+4x=540
OpenStudy (hba):
Then your answer is correct,Its 45 :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then i took
360+4x=540
-360 from both sides
4x=180
then divide?
OpenStudy (hba):
Yes divide both sides by 4 :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks can you help me with two more?
