A polygon is a multi-sided geometric figure whose sides are straight lines.
A 5-sided polygon is called a pentagon.
--------------------------
Regardless of the measure of each angle, one of the characteristics of pentagons is that the total of the angles sum 540. If four of your pentagon's angles add up to 450, the 5th angle measures:
540-450= 90 degrees
