Answer:For the given figure the value of x is 14

Explanation:

Given a regular polygon

A regular polygon is a polygon which has all sides equal and each side subtends equal interior angle at the center.

According to the figure

We are given a regular polygon with 10 sides

The angle subtended at the center is given as

(10x + 4)°

The Sum of interior angles = ( 10-2) = 1440°

So the angle subtended by one side at the center is given as follows

1440°/ 10 = 144°

Since the angle subtended at the center = 144° = (10x + 4)°

so by solving this we can get

140 = 10x

x = 14
