Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Explanation:

We know that a pentagon is a polygon with 5 sides and 5 angles.

Given the polygon with 5 angles.

A pentagon is a polygon with 5 sides and 5 angles.

The angles of the given pentagon are:

∠P = (4x + 2)°

∠Q = 132°

∠R = (4x - 10)°

∠S = (5x - 11)°

∠T = 128°

We know that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a pentagon is 540 degrees.

Therefore,

∠P + ∠Q + ∠R + ∠S + ∠T = 540°

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

group similar elements

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

simplify

13x + 241 = 540

subtract 241 from both sides

13x + 241 - 241 = 540 - 241

13x = 299

divide both sides by 13

13x/13 = 299/13

x = 23

Thus, the value of x = 23

Therefore, the measure of angle ∠S is:

m∠S = (5x - 11)°

= (5(23) - 11)°

= (115 - 11)°

= 104°

Thus,

m∠S = 104°
