Answer:
a.x=100 equation: 540=(125·2)+90+(2x)
b. x=3 equation: 6x+18=2x+30
Explanation:
a. We know that the interior angles of a pentagon have to equal 540 degrees.
So:
540=125+125+90 (hence the square) + x + x
simplify:
540=340+2x
simplify:
200=2x
x=100
b. Using the alternate exterior angles theorem we can say:
6x+18=2x+30
simplify:
4x+18=30
4x=12
x=3
