Find the angle measure x in the following figures.
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°
