1. **State the problem:** We are given a polygon with five interior angles measuring 65°, 88°, 152°, 96°, and an unknown angle $x$. We need to find the value of $x$.
2. **Formula used:** The sum of interior angles of a polygon with $n$ sides is given by:
$$\text{Sum of interior angles} = (n-2) \times 180^\circ$$
3. **Apply the formula:** Since the polygon has 5 sides, the sum of its interior angles is:
$$ (5-2) \times 180^\circ = 3 \times 180^\circ = 540^\circ $$
4. **Set up the equation:** The sum of the known angles plus the unknown angle $x$ must equal 540°:
$$ 65^\circ + 88^\circ + 152^\circ + 96^\circ + x = 540^\circ $$
5. **Calculate the sum of known angles:**
$$ 65 + 88 + 152 + 96 = 401 $$
6. **Solve for $x$:**
$$ x = 540 - 401 = 139 $$
7. **Conclusion:** The unknown interior angle $x$ measures $139^\circ$.
This makes sense because the polygon is concave near angle $x$, and concave polygons have at least one interior angle greater than 180°, but here $x$ is less than 180°, so the indentation is likely due to the shape rather than the angle measure exceeding 180°.
**Final answer:**
$$ x = 139^\circ $$
