Answer:

The interior angles are 70°,65°,80°,155° and 170°

Explanation:

step 1

Find the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon

The sum is equal to

S=(n-2)*180°

where

n is the number of sides of polygon

n=5 (pentagon)

substitute

S=(5-2)*180°=540°

step 2

Find the value of x

Sum the given angles and equate to 540

x+(x-5)+(x+10)+(2x+15)+(2x+30)=540°

7x+50=540°

7x=490°

x=70°

step 3

Find all the angles

x=70°

(x-5)=(70-5)=65°

(x+10)=(70+10)=80°

(2x+15)=(2*70+15)=155°

(2x+30)=(2*70+30)=170°
