Answer:

94°

Explanation:

There is a five sided polygon PQRST in which the measure of angle PQR is 132 degrees, the measure of angle QRS is (4x-10) degrees, the measure of angle RST is (5x-11) degrees, the measure of angle STP is 128 degrees and the measure of angle TPQ is (4x+2) degrees.

Sum of angles in a pentagon = 540°

Hence:

PQR + QRS + RST +STP + TPQ = 540 °

132 + (4x-10)° + (5x-11)° + 128° + (4x+2) degrees = 540°

132 + 4x - 10 + 5x - 11 + 128 + 4x + 2 = 540

132 - 10 - 11 + 128 + 2 + 4x + 5x +4x = 540°

241 +13x = 540

13x = 540 - 241

13x = 299

x = 299/13

x = 23

What is m∠P?

m∠P in Pentagon PQRST = TPQ

TPQ = 4x + 2

= 4 × 23 + 2

= 94°
