Helpp please! i don't understand this

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is actually a six sided figure. That really doesn't matter, but it's interesting to observe. It goes a long way to explaining what is going on. The trick to exterior angles is that as long as the figure is convex ( a closed figure whose lines do not cross), the exterior angles add to 360.

Once you know that, then you know that this figure must have 6 exterior angles and no matter how they are made, their total is 360.

Equation

n + n + n + n + 90 + 90 = 360          Combine like terms.

Solution

4n + 180 = 360                                 Subtract 180

4n = 360 - 180

4n = 180                                            Divide both sides by 4

4n/4 = 180/4

n = 45

Note

Not a simple problem. Thanks for posting

17,000 is the correct answer.
