The image of the hexagon is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

∠1 = 36°

Explanation:

From the image attached, we can see that the polygon is regular and has 10 sides.

Formula for an interior angle of a regular polygon is;

θ = 180(n - 2)/n

Where n is the number of sides of the polygon.

Thus;

θ = 180(10 - 2)/10

θ = 144°

Now, ∠1 forms a straight line with one of the interior angles of the polygon.

Thus, θ + ∠1 will be equal to 180° because sum of angle on a straight line is 180°

Thus;

144° + ∠1 = 180°

∠1 = 180° - 144°

∠1 = 36°
