.
The angle measures are x, 2x, 3x, 4x, and 5x degrees.


Their sum is x + 2x + 3x + 4x + 5x = 15x, and it is equal to (5-2)*180°,

since (5-2)*180° is the sum of interior angles of your pentagon.


     (It is a pentagon, isn't it ?)


So, your equation is  15x = 540°  with the solution  x =  = 36°.


Thus the angles are  36°,  72°,  108°,  144°  and  180°.


Having this, can you answer the problem's question ?
