Answer:

Θ = 124°

Explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is

sum = 180° (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides

Here n - 5, thus

sum = 180° × 3 = 540°

Sum the given interior angles and equate to 540

2x - 3 + 2x + 7 +3x - 4 + 3x - 4 + 3x - 2 = 540, that is

13x - 6 = 540 ( add 6 to both sides )

13x = 546 ( divide both sides by 13 )

x = 42

Thus

Θ = 3x - 2 = 3(42) - 2 = 126 - 2 = 124°
