Question 940069: The angles of a pentagon measure x deg, 2x deg, 3x deg, 4x deg, and 5x deg. What is the measure of the smallest angle?

sum of all angles in a pentagon = 540 degrees
given angles = x,2x,3x,4x,5x
sum = x+2x+3x+4x+5x
=15 x
15x =540
divide with 15 0n both sides


smallest angle = 36 degrees
