d. The measures of four of the exterior angles of a pentagon are 57, 74, 56, and 66. What is the measure of the remaining angle?

e. Find the sum of the interior angles of an 11-gon. Does it matter if it is regular or not?

(a)I. 13 Sides II. 7 Sides

(b) 4 Sides, Square

(c)x=52 degrees

(d)x=107 degrees

(e)1620 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)The Sum of the Interior angle of polygon with n sides is derived using the formula: (n-2)180.

I. If the Interior angle is

Then:

The polygon has 13 sides.

II. If the Interior angle is

Then:

The polygon has 7 sides.

(b)The sum of the exterior angle of a polygon is 360 degrees,

Each exterior angle of a n-sided regular polygon is:

If the exterior angle of a regular polygon is 90°

Then:

The regular polygon has 4 sides and it is called a Square.

(c)The Sum of the Interior angle of polygon with n sides is derived using the formula: (n-2)180.

Each Interior angle of a regular n-sided polygon is:  

For a pentagon, n=5

Then:

(d)The sum of the exterior angle of a polygon is 360 degrees.

If four of the exterior angles of a pentagon are 57, 74, 56, and 66.

Let the fifth angle=x

Then:

(e)The Sum of the Interior angle of polygon with n sides is derived using the formula: (n-2)180.

In an 11-gon., n=11

Therefore, the sum of the interior angle=(11-2)180=

The sum of the interior angle does not change either in a regular or irregular polygon.

let m = monomial

let t = trinomial

so, m times t = t.

monomial times a trinomial = another trinomial.
