C

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

To find the value of xx in the figure, we first need to identify the type of polygon and then use the formula for its interior angles.

  1. Identify the polygon.

    The figure is a regular pentagon, which means it has 5 equal sides and 5 equal interior angles.

  2. Calculate the sum of the interior angles of a pentagon.

    The formula for the sum of the interior angles of a polygon with nn sides is (n−2)×180∘(n-2) \times 180^\circ.
    For a pentagon, n=5n=5.
    Sum of interior angles =(5−2)×180∘=3×180∘=540∘= (5-2) \times 180^\circ = 3 \times 180^\circ = 540^\circ.

  3. Calculate the measure of one interior angle.

    Since it is a regular pentagon, all interior angles are equal. To find the measure of one angle (xx), divide the sum of the interior angles by the number of sides (or angles).

    x=540∘5x = \frac{540^\circ}{5} x=108∘x = 108^\circ

    The value of xx is 108∘108^\circ.

    The correct option is C.
    C. 108 degrees\boxed{\text{C. 108 degrees}}
