I agree with the 14x all right, but the remainder of the other part is 178. I'm going to recheck my answer. I'm not confident about using synthetic division for this question. It is 57 years since I did something like this. If I was more confident, I would list the results of synthetic division because it is much easier to show than long division. I'm saying the answer should be 14x + 178.
Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First, you must apply the formula
for calculate the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon, which is
shown below:
(n-2) × 180°
"n" is the number of sides of the polygon (n=5).
2. Then, the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon, is:
(5-2)x180°=540°
3. The problem says that the measure of each of the other interior angles is equal to the sum of the measures of the two acute angles and now you know that the sum of all the angles is 540°, then, you have:
α+α+2α+2α+2α=540°
8α=540°
α=540°/8
α=67.5°
4. Finally, the larger angle is:
2α=2(67.5°)=135°
5. Therefore, the answer is: 135°
