Question

Using polygon STUVW what is m angle U ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The m∠ U is 72°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\angle S = 90\\\angle T = 2x\\\angle U = x\\\angle V = 2x\\\angle W = 90$

To find :

$\angle U = x = ?$

Solution:

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon with 'n' sides is given as

$\textrm{sum of the measures of angle of a polygon with 'n' sides} = (n - 1)\times 180$

Here we have n = 5 on substituting the values we get

$\angle S +\angle T + \angle U +\angle V + \angle W = (5 -2)\times 180\\90 + 2x + x + 2x + 90 = 3\times 180\\5x + 180 = 540\\5x = 540-180\\5x = 360\\x = \frac{360}{5}\\x = 72$

Therefore,

m∠ U is 72°.
