360°
1(a) Exterior angles of an n-sided polygon
𝑛𝑛
[1] Exterior angle theorem

360° [1] Correct exterior angle of a regular

𝑥𝑥 = = 72°
5 pentagon

1(b) Sum of interior angles in a polygon 𝑛𝑛 − 2 × 180° [1] Interior angle theorem

3×180° [1] Correct interior angle of a regular

Pentagon interior angle = 108°
5 pentagon

360° [1] Use of exterior angles of an n-sided

2 = 20° 360°
𝑛𝑛 polygon
𝑛𝑛

360°
𝑛𝑛 = = 18 𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠 [1] Correct number of sides
20°

[1] Sum of interior angles in a polygon

3 6𝑥𝑥 = 6 − 2 × 180° = 720°
𝑛𝑛 − 2 × 180°

[1] Correct interior angle of a regular

𝑥𝑥 = 120°
hexagon

[1] Use of interior angles of a regular

4 𝑥𝑥 = 360° − 108° − 120° hexagon and regular pentagon about a
point

𝑥𝑥 = 132° [1] Final answer

[1] Sum of interior angles in a polygon

5 7 − 2 × 180° = 900°
𝑛𝑛 − 2 × 180°

[1] Correct total interior angle – the sum of

900° − 755°
angles shown in the diagram excluding 𝑥𝑥

= 145° [1] Final answer

[1] Sum of interior angles in a polygon

6 6 − 2 × 180° = 720°
𝑛𝑛 − 2 × 180°

720° − 100 − 135 = 485 [1] Correct total interior angle – the sum of
485° = 4𝑥𝑥 + 3 angles shown in the diagram excluding 𝑥𝑥

𝑥𝑥 = 120.5° [1] Final answer
