    The document contains a geometry problem involving a regular pentagon and parallelogram. The problem asks the reader to find the value of angle x. It is explained that angle RNP of the regular pentagon is 72 degrees. Angle NMR and NRM of isosceles triangle MNR sum to 72 degrees, so each angle is 36 degrees. Since MR is parallel to PQ, 36 + x must equal 180 degrees. Therefore, the value of x is 144 degrees.

    Cloned SPM Question (Paper 1)

    In the diagram, KLMNR is a regular pentagon and MPQR is a parallelogram. MNP is a straight
    line.
    K

    R
    L Q

    x°
    M N P

    Find the value of x.


    A 108 C 120
    B 112 D 144

    Solution
    ∠ RNP is the exterior angle of the regular pentagon KLMNR.
    360°
    Thus, ∠ RNP = = 72°
    5
    In ∆ MNR, ∠ NMR + ∠ NRM = ∠ RNP
    MNR is an isosceles triangle where ∠ NMR = ∠ NRM.
    Thus, 2 ∠ NMR = 72°
    72°
    ∠ NMR = = 36°
    2
    Since MR is parallel to PQ, 36° + x° = 180°
    x = 144
