Explanation:

11.

As all the exterior angles of a pentagon add up to 360, [ because exterior angle of a polygon = n(360/n) where n = no. Of sides, As the number of sides in a pentagon is 5, n=5. Thus, the sum of exterior angles of a pentagon = 5(360°/5) = 360°.]

THEN,

56 + 2x + 85 + 57 + 4x = 360

6x + 198 = 360

6x = 360 - 198

X = 162/6 = 27

Ans : x = 27

12.

Let the missing angle be x,

As we know that all exterior angles in a pentagon add up to 360 ( Write the same thing written above),

Then,

83 + 83 + 26 + 46 + x = 360

238 + x = 360

X= 360 - 238

X = 122

Answer : the fifth exterior angle = 122°

Hope this helps
