five fences meet at a point to form angles with measure x ,2x,3x ,4x and 5x around the point . find the measure of each angle.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

5 Fences, 5 Angles x + 2x + 3x + 4x + 5x = 360º Go!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You mean x + 2x + 3x + 4x + 5x = 540º Right?

OpenStudy (shoxa27):

how did you got 540?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sum of Interior angles of a pentagon.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

I don't think so. These appear to be vertex angles around the point of intersection, not interior angles around the perimeter of a pentagon. @shoxa27 Is there a drawing?

OpenStudy (shoxa27):

@Grazes unfortunately no.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But why, in the name of elephants, would you put fences like|dw:1361849193444:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Math is silly.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

I have no objection to your elephants. That's just what it says to me. Maybe you want to separate sheep, goats, horses, elephants, and pigs..

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Well, words mean things. If the problem statement means something else, it should say so.
