Answer
It is given that a heptagon has four angles each of 132° and the remaining three angles are equal.
According to the properties of a polygon, if a polygon has n sides, then each of its interior angles is (2n - 4) x 90°.
Heptagon has 7 sides, so n = 7,
= (2 x 7 - 4) x 90°
= (14 - 4) x 90°
= 10 x 90°
= 900°
The sum of interior angles of the heptagon is 900°.
Let each of the three equal angles be x°.
So,
⇒ 132° + 132° + 132° + 132° + x° + x° + x° = 900°
⇒ 528° + 3x° = 900°
⇒ 3x° = 900° - 528°
⇒ 3x° = 372°
⇒ x° =
⇒ x° = 124°
Hence, each of the three equal angles is 124°.
