In the given figure find the values of x & y respectively.(a) 14° & 166°(b) 166° & 14°(c) 170° & 10°(d) 10° & 170°I have been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.My question is from Sum of Measures of the Exterior Angles of a Polygon topic in portion Quadrilaterals of Mathematics – Class 8 |

Answer» CORRECT choice is (b) 166° & 14° For explanation I would say: The polygon in the ADJOINING figure is a hexagon. In order to find the VALUE of x we ought to know the sum of all the internal ANGLES of any hexagon. The formula used is (n-2)180°. Therefore we get the sum of all the angles as 720°. Therefore 84°+126°+149°+x°+104°+91°=720° Therefore x=166° Now we use the property of EXTERNAL angles and find the value of y. Therefore x+y=180° Therefore y=14°. |
