Let’s solve each problem one by one, step by step.

Problem 1:
In a triangle, the sum of all three angles is always
180°.
We are told:
- One angle = 46°
- Another angle = 108°
Add them:
46 + 108 =
154°
Subtract from 180 to find the missing angle:
180 - 154 =
26°
✔ So, the remaining angle is
26°.

Problem 2:
In a quadrilateral (4-sided shape), the sum of all interior angles is
360°.
We are told:
- Two angles are 37° each → 37 + 37 =
74°
- One angle is 118°
Add those together:
74 + 118 =
192°
Subtract from 360:
360 - 192 =
168°
✔ So, the remaining angle is
168°.

Problem 3:
The formula for the sum of interior angles of a polygon with *n* sides is:
>
(n - 2) × 180°
We’re told the sum is
540°, so set up the equation:
(n - 2) × 180 = 540
Divide both sides by 180:
n - 2 = 3
Add 2 to both sides:
n = 5
A polygon with 5 sides is called a
pentagon.
✔ So, it’s a
pentagon.

Problem 4:
A hexagon has
6 sides, so the sum of its interior angles is:
(6 - 2) × 180 = 4 × 180 =
720°
We’re told that
five of the angles are 110° each.
So, 5 × 110 =
550°
Subtract from total to find the last angle:
720 - 550 =
170°
✔ So, the remaining angle is
170°.
---
Problem 5:
Again, use the formula: (n - 2) × 180 = sum of interior angles
Given sum =
1440°
Set up:
(n - 2) × 180 = 1440
Divide both sides by 180:
n - 2 = 8
Add 2:
n = 10
A 10-sided polygon is called a
decagon.
✔ So, it’s a
decagon.
---
Problem 6:
Check if the three angles add up to 180° (required for any triangle).
1° + 2° + 177° =
180°
Yes! They add up exactly to 180°.
Even though two angles are very small and one is almost flat, mathematically, this still forms a valid triangle — just a very “skinny” one.
✔ So,
yes, it is possible.

Final Answer:
1) 26°
2) 168°
3) Pentagon
4) 170°
5) Decagon
6) Yes
