I assume the gaps form something like a circle. Based on this, you have 3x + x = 180, since we are just finding the measures of the circle. 4x = 180. x = 45

45 is angle 2.
135 is angle 1.

So, angles 1 and 3 are 135 degrees each and angles 2 and 4 are 45 degrees.
divide 1.45 by 5. explain how you got your answer in a complete sentence
