Seventh angle is #x=111^o#

Explanation:

Sum of all the interior angles of a #n#-sided polygon is always #(n-2)xx180^o#.

As this is seven sided polygon, sum of its interior angles is #(7-2)xx180^o=5xx180^o=900^o#

Sum of six of the angles is #120^o +158^o +126^o +125^o +121^o +139^o =789^o#

Hence the seventh angle is #x=900^o-789^o=111^o#

#111^circ#

Explanation:

We use the formula

The sum of the angles in any closed polygon

#color(blue)((n-2)*180)#

Where, #color(red)(n# is the number of sides of the polygon

There are #7# sides in this polygon

#:.# #color(orange)("Sum of the angles"=(7-2)*180=900^circ#

So, we can say that

#rarr158^circ+120^circ+139^circ+121^circ+125^circ+126^circ+x=900^circ#

#rarr789^circ+x=900^circ#

#rarrx=900^circ-789^circ#

#rArrcolor(green)(x=111^circ#
