G or J? This is a regular polygon. What are the values of x and y? f 45°, 135° g 78°, 102° h 60°, 120° j 72°, 108°

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

the polygon has 5 regular sides, so it's a PENTAgon \(\bf n\theta=180(n-2)\qquad \theta=\textit{internal angle}\qquad n=\textit{number of sides}=5\qquad thus \\ \quad \\ n\theta=180(n-2)\implies 5\theta=180(5-2)\) solve for \(\theta\) to see what the internal angle, or "x", is

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

the external angle or "y", will be as you can see 180-x

I'm confused @jdoe0001

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf n{\color{brown}{ x}}=180(n-2)\qquad {\color{brown}{ x}}=\textit{internal angle}\quad n=\textit{number of sides}=5\quad thus \\ \quad \\ n{\color{brown}{ x}}=180(n-2)\implies 5{\color{brown}{ x}}=180(5-2)\quad \textit{solve for }{\color{brown}{ x}}\) in case that makes it clearer, assuming you know to simplify linear expressions which seems to be assumed

Oh its 108, so the answer is J thanks :) @jdoe0001
