The given figure is a polygon with 4 sides. The sum of the interior angles in a polygon is expressed as

(n - 2)180

Where

n represents the number of sides. Given that n = 4, then the sum of the interior angles in the polygon would be

(4 - 2)180 = 2 * 180 = 360 degrees

Thus, we have

4x + 9 + 7x - 5 + 2x + 15 + 5x - 1 = 360

Collecting like terms, we have

4x + 7x + 2x + 5x + 9 - 5 + 15 - 1 =360

18x + 18 = 360

18x = 360 - 18 = 342

x = 342/18

x = 19

To find the measure of each angle, we would substitute x = 19 into each of the angles. Thus, we have

Angle G = 4 * 19 + 9 = 76 + 9 = 85 degrees

angle B = 2 * 19 + 15 = 38 + 15 = 53 degrees

angle M = 5 * 19 - 1 = 95 - 1 = 94 degrees

angle L = 7 * 19 - 5 = 133 - 5 = 128 degrees
