Answer:

x=75

The measures of the polygon are 75, 105, 70 and 110.

Explanation:

Since the sum of the angles is 360, we can set up an equation, where all the angles add up to 360:

(x-5)+(x+35)+(1.4x)+(x)=360

x-5+x+35+1.4x+x=360

4.4x+30=360

4.4x=330

x=75

Now, to find the angles, all you have to do is plug in 75 for x in every angle:

First angle: 75

Second angle: 1.4*75=105

Third angle: 75-5=70

Fourth angle: 75+35=110
