Answer:

88° and 132°

Explanation:

The sum of angles in a pentagon ( a 5-sided shape) is given as

= (5 - 2) 180°

= 540°

The angles ∠EAB and ∠AED are supplementary hence the sum is 180° Therefore,

∠AED + 110 = 180

∠AED = 180 - 110

= 70°

Given that the sum of the angles in a pentagon is 540° then

110 + 70 + 2k + 140 + 3k = 540

5k + 320 = 540

5k = 540 - 320

5k = 220

k = 220/5

= 44°

Hence the angle ∠ABC

= 2 × 44

= 88°

∠CDE

= 3 × 44

= 132°
