Answer:

P = 94°

Explanation:

The total of interior angles of a pentagon is 180°(5 -2) = 540°.

P +Q +R +S +T = 540°

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

13x = 299 . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 241, collect terms

x = 23 . . . . . . . . divide by 13

Then the measure of P is ...

P = (4(23) +2)°

P = 94°

_____

Additional comment

R = 82°, S = 104°

__

The total of interior angles of an n-sided convex polygon is 180°(n -2).
