Q8 of 35 Page 3

Find x in the following figures.

A.


B.

 Sum of all exterior angles of polygon = 360o.   ..... (1)

A.

 

As triangle is the simplest polygon with three sides and three angles.

So for the given angles of the triangle from (1),

125° + 125° + x = 360°


⇒250° + x = 360°


⇒x = 110°


B.



The figure is having five sides and five angles.

This figure is pentagon.

So for the given angles of the pentagon from (1),


60° + 90° + 70° + x + 90° = 360°


⇒ 310° + x = 360°


⇒ x = 50°
