Question
find the measure of $\angle g$.
| angle | measure |
|---|---|
| $\angle b$ | $128^\circ$ |
| $\angle c$ | $127^\circ$ |
| $\angle d$ | $135^\circ$ |
| $\angle e$ | $122^\circ$ |
| $\angle f$ | $126^\circ$ |
Step1: Recall the formula for the sum of interior angles of a polygon.
The formula for the sum of interior angles of a polygon with \( n \) sides is \( (n - 2)\times180^\circ \). A heptagon (7 - sided polygon) has \( n = 7 \), so the sum is \( (7 - 2)\times180^\circ = 5\times180^\circ = 900^\circ \).
Step2: Calculate the sum of the given angles.
Sum of given angles: \( 130^\circ + 128^\circ + 127^\circ + 135^\circ + 122^\circ + 126^\circ \)
\[
$$\begin{align*}
&130 + 128 = 258\\
&258 + 127 = 385\\
&385 + 135 = 520\\
&520 + 122 = 642\\
&642 + 126 = 768
\end{align*}$$
\]
Step3: Find the measure of \( \angle G \).
Let \( m\angle G = x \). Then \( 768^\circ + x = 900^\circ \). Solving for \( x \), we get \( x = 900^\circ - 768^\circ = 132^\circ \).
