1. Problem Description

We are given a pentagon with some information about its angles and sides. We need to find the size of angle kk. Two sides of the pentagon have equal length, and there are two right angles in the pentagon. One of the angles is given as 140140^\circ.

2. Solution Steps

The sum of the interior angles of a pentagon is given by the formula:
(n2)×180(n-2) \times 180^\circ, where nn is the number of sides.
In this case, n=5n=5, so the sum of the interior angles is (52)×180=3×180=540(5-2) \times 180^\circ = 3 \times 180^\circ = 540^\circ.
Let's label the angles of the pentagon. We have the angle kk, two right angles (9090^\circ each), and the angle 140140^\circ. Let the fifth angle be xx. So, the sum of the angles is k+90+90+140+x=540k + 90^\circ + 90^\circ + 140^\circ + x = 540^\circ.
Since the two sides of the triangle are equal, the triangle is isosceles, and the angles opposite those sides are also equal. Therefore the unknown angle in the triangle is also kk. Hence xx is also equal to kk.
So we have: k+90+90+140+k=540k + 90^\circ + 90^\circ + 140^\circ + k = 540^\circ.
2k+320=5402k + 320^\circ = 540^\circ
2k=5403202k = 540^\circ - 320^\circ
2k=2202k = 220^\circ
k=2202k = \frac{220^\circ}{2}
k=110k = 110^\circ

3. Final Answer

The size of angle kk is 110110^\circ. However, this angle kk is exterior to the pentagon. The interior angle xx satisfies x=180140=40x=180^\circ - 140^\circ = 40^\circ. Since the two sides of the triangle containing angle kk are of equal length, the triangle is isosceles and the angle opposite those sides is also equal to kk. The internal angle at vertex xx is then given by: x=360140=220x = 360^\circ - 140^\circ = 220^\circ. Thus we have k+k+x=180k+k+x'= 180 where x' is 180x180-x. Then two angles equal. So we are looking at an isosceles triangle. Also, the angle at vertex x=360140=220x = 360^\circ - 140^\circ=220^\circ. Since 180140=40180^\circ -140^\circ=40^\circ, thus the adjacent angle is 360140180=40360^\circ- 140^\circ - 180^\circ = 40^\circ. Then 2k+90+90+360140+2k+ 90 +90 +360-140 + where xx'= 540540.
Now 540=2k+2(90)+(360140)=2k+180+220540 =2k + 2*(90)+ (360-140)=2k +180+220.
Then 540=2k+400540=2k+400. Then 2k=1402k= 140. So k=70k=70.
k+90+90+(360140)+k=540k+90+90+(360-140) +k = 540. 2k+180+220=5402k+180+220 =540. 2k+400=5402k+400 = 540. 2k=1402k=140. Then k=70k=70
The size of angle kk is 7070^\circ.
