The angle measurements the carpenter needs to cut the carpet to make it fit in his room are 144°, 144°, 144°, 144°, 144°, 90°, and 90°
Angles in a polygon
From the question, we are to determine the angle measurements that the carpenter needs to cut the carpet to make it fit in his room
The diagram shows a heptagon with two of its angles, a right-angle each, and the remaining angles have equal values, x.
First, we will calculate the sum of angles in a heptagon
The sum of angles in a polygon is given by the formula
Sum of angles in a polygon = (n-2)180°
Where n is the number of sides
For a heptagon, n = 7
∴ Sum of angles in a heptagon = (7-2)180°
= 5×180°
= 900°
Now, considering the given diagram, we can write that
x + x + x + x + x + 90° + 90° = 900°
5x + 180° = 900°
5x = 900° - 180°
5x = 720°
x = 720°/5
x = 144°
Hence, the angle measurements the carpenter needs to cut the carpet to make it fit in his room are 144°, 144°, 144°, 144°, 144°, 90°, and 90°
