To find: measure of each angle of a hexagon given the ratio of its
Answer to Problem 29WE
The measure of each angle of the hexagon is
Explanation of Solution
Given Information: The ratio between angles of a hexagon is 4:5:5:8:9:9
Formula Used:
The sum of interior angles of a hexagon is 7200
Calculation:
A hexagon has six sides and six interior angles. Since ratio of the angles is always in the simplified form, it might not represent the actual measure. So, considering the angles as 4x, 5x ,5x,8x,9x and 9x, the sum of the angles of the hexagon can be expressed using the above relation as,
So each of the angles are given by,
Thus, the angles of the hexagon are
