The interior angles of a pentagon are 126o, 114o, y, 92o and 83o. Find the value of y.

A.

85o

B.

95o

C.

105o

D.

115o

E.

125o

Correct answer is E

Sum of the angle of a pentagon
= (2 x 5 - 4) x 90
= 540o
126 + 114 + y + 92 + 83 = 540
y = 540 - 415 = 125o

From the diagram above, which of the following is true?

A.

a +b + x =180

B.

a = b + x

C.

a – b = 180 - x

D.

a + b = x + 180

E.

a – b = x - 180.

Correct answer is D

From the diagram, the angles in the triangle are:

(180 - a)°, (180 - b)° and x°.

∴∴ (180 - a) + (180 - b) + x = 180°

360 + x - a - b = 180°

360 - 180 + x = a + b

180 + x = a + b.
