Please answer ASAP. Question on maths from edexcel maths paper
Answer:
x = 45°
Step-by-step explanation:
Consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary, thus
lower left angle inside the parallelogram = 180° - 117° = 63°
x and 63 form an interior angle of the pentagon.
The sum of the interior angles of a regular pentagon is
sum = 180° (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides
Here n = 5, thus
sum = 180° × 3 = 540°
The size of the interior angle = 540° ÷ 5 = 108°, hence
x + 63° = 108° ( subtract 63° from both sides )
x = 45°
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all
the 117° is the same on the opposite diagonally side of the angle
so 117+117 is 234°
360-234 is 126 (parallelogram is 360°)
126/2 is 63° for the other two angles
find interior of pentagon
pentagon has 5 sides split to 3 triangle
equation: 180*(n-2)
so 3*180 is 540°
540/5 is 108° (divide to find the equal angles on pentagon)
FINALLY
to find X
do 108-63 is 45°
therefore X=45°
