Answer:

x = 70 , ∠ A = 140° , ∠ B = 130°

Explanation:

the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is calculated as

sum = 180° (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides

here n = 5 , then

sum = 180° × (5 - 2) = 180° × 3 = 540°

sum the 5 angles, equate to 540 and solve for x

2x + 2x - 10 + 90 + 90 + 90 = 540 ( simplify left side )

4x + 260 = 540 ( subtract 260 from both sides )

4x = 280 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 70

Then

∠ A = 2x = 2 × 70 = 140°

∠ B = 2x - 10 = 2(70) - 10 = 140 - 10 = 130°
