The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is 1 8 0 ( n − 2 ) , where n represents the number of sides. The sum of the interior angles of a pentagon (five sides) is equal to 1 8 0 ( 5 − 2 ) = 5 4 0 ∘ . The pentagon is missing one interior angle, which you can call y :
1 0 0 ∘ + 1 2 0 ∘ + 9 0 ∘ + 1 0 9 ∘ + y = 5 4 0 ∘
4 1 9 ∘ + y = 5 4 0 ∘
y = 1 2 1 ∘
The interior and exterior angles of a polygon are supplementary. Therefore,
1 2 1 ∘ + x = 1 8 0 ∘
x = 5 9 ∘
