Correct Answer

D

Explanation

(x + 15)° + (2x - 45)° + (x + 10)° = (2n - 4)90°when n = 4x + 15° + 2x - 45° + x - 30° + x + 10° = (2 x 4 - 4) 90°5x - 50° = (8 - 4)90°5x - 50° = 4 x 90° = 360°5x = 360° + 50°5x = 410°x = 410°/5= 82°Hence, the value of the least interior angle is (x - 30°)= (82 - 30)°= 52°
