Step-by-step solution for: Angles in Polygons Worksheets - Math Monks
To solve the problems involving finding the missing interior and exterior angles of polygons, we will use the following key principles:
1. Sum of Interior Angles of a Polygon: For an \( n \)-sided polygon, the sum of the interior angles is given by:
\[
(n-2) \times 180^\circ
\]
2. Exterior Angle: The exterior angle of a polygon is supplementary to its corresponding interior angle. That is:
\[
\text{Exterior angle} = 180^\circ - \text{Interior angle}
\]
3. Sum of Angles in a Triangle: The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is always:
\[
180^\circ
\]
4. Sum of Angles on a Straight Line: The sum of angles on a straight line is:
\[
180^\circ
\]
Now, let's solve each problem step by step.
---
The polygon is a quadrilateral with three given interior angles: \( 84^\circ \), \( 100^\circ \), and \( 121^\circ \). We need to find the fourth angle \( x \).
#### Solution:
The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is:
\[
(4-2) \times 180^\circ = 2 \times 180^\circ = 360^\circ
\]
Using the given angles:
\[
84^\circ + 100^\circ + 121^\circ + x = 360^\circ
\]
Simplify:
\[
305^\circ + x = 360^\circ
\]
Solve for \( x \):
\[
x = 360^\circ - 305^\circ = 55^\circ
\]
Answer for Problem 1:
\[
\boxed{55}
\]
---
The polygon is a triangle with two given interior angles: \( 100^\circ \) and \( 120^\circ \). We need to find the third angle \( x \).
#### Solution:
The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is:
\[
180^\circ
\]
Using the given angles:
\[
100^\circ + 120^\circ + x = 180^\circ
\]
Simplify:
\[
220^\circ + x = 180^\circ
\]
Solve for \( x \):
\[
x = 180^\circ - 220^\circ = -40^\circ
\]
This result is incorrect because the sum of the angles in a triangle cannot exceed \( 180^\circ \). Let's recheck the problem setup. The given angles \( 100^\circ \) and \( 120^\circ \) are not possible for a triangle since their sum already exceeds \( 180^\circ \). There might be a misunderstanding in the problem statement. Assuming the problem involves an exterior angle, let's re-evaluate:
If \( 120^\circ \) is an exterior angle, then the corresponding interior angle is:
\[
180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ
\]
Now, using the interior angles:
\[
100^\circ + 60^\circ + x = 180^\circ
\]
Simplify:
\[
160^\circ + x = 180^\circ
\]
Solve for \( x \):
\[
x = 180^\circ - 160^\circ = 20^\circ
\]
Answer for Problem 2:
\[
\boxed{20}
\]

The polygon is a quadrilateral with three given interior angles: \( 95^\circ \), \( 70^\circ \), and \( 90^\circ \) (since it is a right angle). We need to find the fourth angle \( x \).
#### Solution:
The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is:
\[
360^\circ
\]
Using the given angles:
\[
95^\circ + 70^\circ + 90^\circ + x = 360^\circ
\]
Simplify:
\[
255^\circ + x = 360^\circ
\]
Solve for \( x \):
\[
x = 360^\circ - 255^\circ = 105^\circ
\]
Answer for Problem 3:
\[
\boxed{105}
\]
---

\]
Solve for \( x \):
\[
x = 360^\circ - 381^\circ = -21^\circ
\]
This result is incorrect because the sum of the angles in a quadrilateral cannot exceed \( 360^\circ \). There might be a misunderstanding in the problem statement. Let's re-evaluate:
If \( 168^\circ \) is an exterior angle, then the corresponding interior angle is:
\[
180^\circ - 168^\circ = 12^\circ
\]
Now, using the interior angles:
\[
12^\circ + 150^\circ + 63^\circ + x = 360^\circ
\]
Simplify:
\[
225^\circ + x = 360^\circ
\]
Solve for \( x \):
