Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Determine the number of sides of the polygon.

    The given shape has 6 sides, making it a hexagon.

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

    The formula for the sum of interior angles of a polygon with nn sides is (n−2)×180∘(n-2) \times 180^\circ.
    For a hexagon, n=6n=6.

    Sum of interior angles=(6−2)×180∘=4×180∘=720∘\text{Sum of interior angles} = (6-2) \times 180^\circ = 4 \times 180^\circ = 720^\circ
  3. Identify all interior angles of the hexagon.

    • One angle is given as 80∘80^\circ.
    • Two angles are right angles, which are 90∘90^\circ each.
    • One angle is given as 120∘120^\circ.
    • One angle is x∘x^\circ.
    • The remaining angle has an exterior angle of 15∘15^\circ. The interior angle is 180∘−15∘=165∘180^\circ - 15^\circ = 165^\circ.
  4. Set up an equation using the sum of the interior angles.

    Summing all the interior angles and equating them to the total sum:

    80∘+90∘+90∘+120∘+x∘+165∘=720∘80^\circ + 90^\circ + 90^\circ + 120^\circ + x^\circ + 165^\circ = 720^\circ
  5. Solve for xx.

    Combine the known angles:

    (80+90+90+120+165)∘+x∘=720∘(80 + 90 + 90 + 120 + 165)^\circ + x^\circ = 720^\circ 545∘+x∘=720∘545^\circ + x^\circ = 720^\circ

    Subtract 545∘545^\circ from both sides:

    x∘=720∘−545∘x^\circ = 720^\circ - 545^\circ x∘=175∘x^\circ = 175^\circ

    The value of xx is 175∘\boxed{\text{}175^\circ\text{}}.
