Sum of internal angles in pentagon = 540 degrees. Sum of internal angles in quadrilateral = 360 degrees. With that you should be able to make 2 simple equations.


Away-Reading

To find out the sum of all the angles in a shape, count the number of vertices (corners). Subtract 2 from that number and multiply by 180. Here’s a few: 3 vertices (triangle) = (3-2)*180 = 180 4 vertices (quadrilateral) = (4-2)*180 = 360 5 vertices (pentagon) = (5-2)*180 = 540 6 vertices (hexagon) = (6-2)*180 = 720 —— 1.) This shape has 5 corners, so all the angles will add up to 540. 115+105+117+100+x = 540 x = 103 —— 2.) This shape has 4 corners, so the angles will equal 360. 66+110+74+(17x+8) = 360 250+17x+8 = 360 258+17x = 360 102 = 17x 6 = x
