Three of the interior angles of a polygon are equal to each other The remaining angles are 145, 100 and 115" Find the size of cache of the three equal angles

Respuesta :

Answer:

The size of each of the three equal unknown angles is [tex]120^{0}[/tex].

Explanation:

Let the the unknown angle be represented by x. The polygon is a hexagon, which has three sides and angles.

sum of angle in the hexagon = (n - 2) x [tex]180^{0}[/tex]

n = 6, so that;

Sum of angle in the hexagon = ( 6 - 2) x [tex]180^{0}[/tex]

                                                = 4 x [tex]180^{0}[/tex]

                                                = [tex]720^{0}[/tex]

Therefore;

x + x + x + [tex]145^{0}[/tex] + [tex]100^{0}[/tex] + [tex]115^{0}[/tex] = [tex]720^{0}[/tex]

3x + [tex]360^{0}[/tex] = [tex]720^{0}[/tex]

3x = [tex]720^{0}[/tex] - [tex]360^{0}[/tex]

3x = [tex]360^{0}[/tex]

x = [tex]120^{0}[/tex]

The size of each of the three equal unknown angles is [tex]120^{0}[/tex].
