Find the angle measure x in the following figures.

(a) The figure is having 4 sides. Hence, it is a quadrilateral. Sum of angles of the quadrilateral = 360°

⇒ 50° + 130° + 120° + x = 360°

⇒ 300° + x = 360°

⇒ x = 360° – 300° = 60°

(b) The figure is having 4 sides. Hence, it is a quadrilateral. Also, one side is perpendicular forming right angle.

Sum of angles of the quadrilateral = 360°

⇒ 90° + 70° + 60° + x = 360°

⇒ 220° + x = 360°

⇒ x = 360° – 220° = 140°

(c) The figure is having 5 sides. Hence, it is a pentagon.

Sum of angles of the pentagon = 540° Two angles at the bottom are linear pair.

∴, 180° – 70° = 110°

180° – 60° = 120°

⇒ 30° + 110° + 120° + x + x = 540°

⇒ 260° + 2x = 540°

⇒ 2x = 540° – 260° = 280°

⇒ 2x = 280°

= 140°

(d) The figure is having 5 equal sides. Hence, it is a regular pentagon. Thus, its all angles are equal.

5x = 540°

⇒ x = 540°/5

⇒ x = 108°
