Answer:

The value of x is 63° ⇒ B

Explanation:

The rule for finding the sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is S = (n - 2) × 180°

In the given figure

There is a polygon with 5 sides

n = 5

∴ S = (5 - 2) × 180°

∴ S = 3 × 180°

S = 540°

→ We have the measure of 4 angles of them

∵ The sum of the 4 given angles = 119° + 100° + 88° + 116°

∴ The sum of the 4 given angles = 423°

→ To find the 5th angle subtract 423° from 540°

∵ The measure of the fifth angle = 540° - 423°

∴ The measure of the fifth angle = 117°

→ x and 117° are linear pair angles, then their sum is 180°

x + 117° = 180°linear pair angles

→ Subtract 117 from both sides to find x

∴ x + 117 - 117 = 180 - 117

x = 63°
