It's a six sided polygon. For any polygon the external angles add to 360 degrees. The internal angles shown are the supplements of the external angles. We have

(180 - θ₁) + (180 - θ₂) + ... + (180 - θ₆) = 360

6(180) - 360 = θ₁ + θ₂ + θ₃ + θ₄ + θ₅ + θ₆

720 = θ₁ + θ₂ + θ₃ + θ₄ + θ₅ + θ₆

The six angles add up to 720 degrees, and five of them add to

126+101+135+147+96=605

So y = 720 - 605 = 115

The degree sign is external to y so not part of the answer:

Answer: 115

Answer:y = 115 degrees

Explanation:

The given polygon has 6 sides. It is a hexagon. The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is

180(n - 2)

Where

n is the number of sides that the polygon has. This means that n = 6

Therefore, the sum of the interior angles would be

180(6 - 2) = 720 degrees

Therefore,

126 + 101 + 135 + 147 + 96 + y = 720

605 + y = 720

Subtracting 605 from both sides of the equation, it becomes

y = 720 - 605 = 115 degrees
