To find the missing angle in each polygon, we use the formula for the sum of interior angles:
Sum = (n - 2) × 180°, where
n is the number of sides.
Here is the step-by-step solution for each shape:
(a) Quadrilateral (4 sides)
* Total sum: $(4 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 360^\circ$
* Known angles: $70^\circ + 45^\circ + 88^\circ = 203^\circ$
* Missing angle $x$: $360^\circ - 203^\circ = 157^\circ$
(b) Pentagon (5 sides)
* Total sum: $(5 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 540^\circ$
* Known angles: $84^\circ + 153^\circ + 131^\circ + 105^\circ = 473^\circ$
* Missing angle $x$: $540^\circ - 473^\circ = 67^\circ$
(c) Hexagon (6 sides)
* Total sum: $(6 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 720^\circ$
* Known angles: $120^\circ + 130^\circ + 100^\circ + 135^\circ + 110^\circ = 595^\circ$
* Missing angle $x$: $720^\circ - 595^\circ = 125^\circ$
(d) Pentagon (5 sides)
* Total sum: $(5 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 540^\circ$
* Known angles: The square symbols mean $90^\circ$. So, $90^\circ + 90^\circ + 90^\circ + 143^\circ = 413^\circ$
* Missing angle $x$: $540^\circ - 413^\circ = 127^\circ$
(e) Heptagon (7 sides)
* Total sum: $(7 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 900^\circ$
* Known angles: $96^\circ + 105^\circ + 161^\circ + 123^\circ + 155^\circ + 114^\circ = 754^\circ$
* Missing angle $x$: $900^\circ - 754^\circ = 146^\circ$
(f) Hexagon (6 sides)
* Total sum: $(6 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 720^\circ$
* Known angles: Note the right angle ($90^\circ$) and the reflex angle ($202^\circ$).
Sum: $150^\circ + 90^\circ + 202^\circ + 40^\circ + 127^\circ = 609^\circ$
* Missing angle $x$: $720^\circ - 609^\circ = 111^\circ$
Final Answer:
(a) 157°
(b) 67°
(c) 125°
(d) 127°
(e) 146°
(f) 111°
