i’ve gotten to this point idk what to do now

#

you can find out x using symmetry in that left shape

#

2x + 144 x 3 = (n - 2) x 180

#

2x + 144 x 3 = 3 x 180

#

x = 54

#

and then use the right shapes symmetry

#

to work out the angle wedged between y

#

so you get 144 x 2 + 2z = (4 - 2) x 180

#

z = 36

#

and you know that x + y + z = 144

#

therefore y = 144 - 54 - 36 = 54 = x

#

QED

#

warm moss 2x + 144 x 3 = (n - 2) x 180

how did you form this equation?

ohhh

#

same process for this

#

ohhhhhhhhh

#

warm moss so you get 144 x 2 + 2z = (4 - 2) x 180

where’s the (4-2) x180 come from?

holy shit

#

tight marsh where’s the (4-2) x180 come from?

this is the formula to work out the sum of all

#

interior angles

#

tight marsh holy shit

sum of interior angles

#

u do number of sides - 2

#

*180

#

OHHH I GET THIS

#

I FIDNT INCLUDE AD AND AG AS A SIDE

#

that’s why it was confusing

#

holy shit thank you so much

#

@warm moss thank you for your explanation as well 🙏 😭
