a pentagon has 5 angles it says the degrees are consecutive even integers so x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)+(x+8)=sum of all angles x+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8=sum of all angles 5x+20=sum of all angles we know that the sum of all of a pentagon's angles is 540 [it said so]: 5x+20=540 divide both sides by 5 x+4=108 minus 4 on both sides x=104 but it wants the biggest side, which is (x+8), or 104+8=112. there's your answer!
