Answer:

216°

Explanation:

The ratio of the sum of smallest and largest to the total of all angles is ...

(9 +15)/(9 +10 +12 +14 +15) = 24/60 = 0.4

__

The total of all angles in an n-gon is 180°(n -2), so the total of all angles in a pentagon is ...

180°(5 -2) = 540°

Then the sum of smallest and largest angles is ...

0.4(540°) = 216°
