    170°

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The formulae for getting the interior sides of an angle is 180 (n-2) where n is there number of sides. And pentagon has 5 sides.

    180 (5-2)

    180 (3) = 540°

    Additions of the must just give 540°

    2x+6x + (4x-6) + (2x-16) + (6x+2) = 540°

    Collect like terms

    2x+6x+4x+2x+6x-6-16+2=540°

    20x-20=540

    20x=540+20

    20x=560

    x=560/20

    x=28°

    Which of these sides gives the greatest.

    2x=2 (28) = 56°

    6x=6 (28) = 168°

    4x-6=4 (28) - 6=112-6=108°

    2x-16=2 (28) - 16=56-15=40°

    6x+2=6 (28) + 2=168+2=170°

    The greatest of them is (6x+2) °=170°
