For the diagram below, form an equation and then solve it to calculate the value of x
Talja [164]
You apply the sum of interior angles formula ie. (n-2)180. n=number of sides
since a pentagon has 5 sides it will be (5-2)180=540.
now add everything. x-5+x-6+2x-7+x+2x-2=540.
Solve for x: 7x-20=540
7x=540+20
7x=560
x=560/7
x=80
