OpenStudy (candy13106):

ok so u know a straight line equals 180 degrees so if u have 125 and a Y u have to equal to to 180 so what you would do is subtract 180-125 and that would be the answer for Y

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

my options are 50, 40, 75, 130...... i subtracted 180-125=55.....55 isnt one of my options

OpenStudy (miasan5653):

I'm not sure. It seems like @candy13106 is right

OpenStudy (gunsodo):

So the options were really wrong...

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

@3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

Well, I am here. Where are you stuck?

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

my concerns are in the above messages

OpenStudy (3mar):

Can you redraw the pentagon more clearly in order to solve it well?

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

|dw:1479253682401:dw|

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

125 is supposed to be an angle

OpenStudy (3mar):

Yes, I see and what is the required?

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

to find the value of why...if thats what you are asking

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

of y*

OpenStudy (3mar):

Yes. I just wanted to know what is to find out

OpenStudy (3mar):

Is the angle y is an exterior angle of the pentagon?

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

i guess you can say that, i think so

OpenStudy (3mar):

Ok I think this would help you. https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/exterior-angles-polygons.html

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

ok so 360-125=235, but thats not one of my options either

OpenStudy (3mar):

why 360, sister?

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

because it says on the link you gave me that polygon exterior angles equals 360

OpenStudy (3mar):

"The Exterior Angles of a Polygon add up to 360°" All Exterior Angles, not one!!!

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

oh ok

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

but when i did it wiht the 180 equation i didnt get the answer i needed

OpenStudy (3mar):

I think it would be|dw:1479255659314:dw|
