To solve the problem of finding the interior angles for each irregular polygon, we will follow these steps:
The formula to find the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is:
\[
\text{Sum of the interior angles} = (n - 2) \times 180^\circ
\]
where \( n \) is the number of sides of the polygon.
- Polygon 1: 5 sides (pentagon)
- Polygon 2: 6 sides (hexagon)
- Polygon 3: 5 sides (pentagon)
- Polygon 4: 6 sides (hexagon)
- Polygon 5: 5 sides (pentagon)
- Polygon 6: 5 sides (pentagon)
- Polygon 7: 7 sides (heptagon)
- Polygon 8: 5 sides (pentagon)
- Polygon 9: 4 sides (quadrilateral)
Using the formula \((n - 2) \times 180^\circ\):
1. Polygon 1 (Pentagon):
\[
n = 5 \implies \text{Sum} = (5 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 3 \times 180^\circ = 540^\circ
\]
2. Polygon 2 (Hexagon):
\[
n = 6 \implies \text{Sum} = (6 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 4 \times 180^\circ = 720^\circ
\]
3. Polygon 3 (Pentagon):
\[
n = 5 \implies \text{Sum} = (5 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 3 \times 180^\circ = 540^\circ
\]
4. Polygon 4 (Hexagon):
\[
n = 6 \implies \text{Sum} = (6 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 4 \times 180^\circ = 720^\circ
\]
5. Polygon 5 (Pentagon):
\[
n = 5 \implies \text{Sum} = (5 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 3 \times 180^\circ = 540^\circ
\]
6. Polygon 6 (Pentagon):
\[
n = 5 \implies \text{Sum} = (5 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 3 \times 180^\circ = 540^\circ
\]
7. Polygon 7 (Heptagon):
\[
n = 7 \implies \text{Sum} = (7 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 5 \times 180^\circ = 900^\circ
\]
8. Polygon 8 (Pentagon):
\[
n = 5 \implies \text{Sum} = (5 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 3 \times 180^\circ = 540^\circ
\]
9. Polygon 9 (Quadrilateral):
\[
n = 4 \implies \text{Sum} = (4 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 2 \times 180^\circ = 360^\circ
\]
For each polygon, the sum of all interior angles is equal to the calculated sum. We will use this to find the missing angle(s).
