The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( x \) given the angles of a hexagon. The angles are: 1. \( x + 10^\circ \) 2. \( 2x + 20^\circ \) 3. \( 2x - 20^\circ \) 4. \( 3x - 50^\circ \) 5. \( x + 40^\circ \) 6. \( x + 20^\circ \) ### Step 1: Find the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon. The formula for the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by: \[ \text{Sum of interior angles} = (n - 2) \times 180^\circ \] where \( n \) is the number of sides. For a hexagon, \( n = 6 \). Calculating the sum: \[ \text{Sum} = (6 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 4 \times 180^\circ = 720^\circ \] ### Step 2: Set up the equation for the sum of the angles. Now, we will add all the given angles and set them equal to the sum of the interior angles: \[ (x + 10^\circ) + (2x + 20^\circ) + (2x - 20^\circ) + (3x - 50^\circ) + (x + 40^\circ) + (x + 20^\circ) = 720^\circ \] ### Step 3: Combine like terms. Combining all the terms: \[ x + 10 + 2x + 20 + 2x - 20 + 3x - 50 + x + 40 + x + 20 = 720 \] This simplifies to: \[ (1x + 2x + 2x + 3x + 1x + 1x) + (10 + 20 - 20 - 50 + 40 + 20) = 720 \] \[ 10x + 20 = 720 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( x \). Now, we will isolate \( x \): \[ 10x + 20 = 720 \] Subtract 20 from both sides: \[ 10x = 700 \] Now, divide by 10: \[ x = 70 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( x \) is \( 70^\circ \). ---
