thats supposed to be a X lol
Well it seems like the first thing to do is get the measurement of the 5 outside segments. 2pi/5.
1.256?
@kymber do you remember this stuff?
its multiple choice if that helps? a) 36 b) 72 c) 108 d) 216
Okay the total degrees inside a pentagon are 540 degrees. From the picture, you have 5 equal sides. Therefore, the angle of each corner of the pentagon is 108 degrees. That also means the opposite angle is 108 degrees. Therefore x degrees = 108 degrees Sorry I kept stumbling on this problem, it's been 10 years since I've had to do this sort of thing.
thanks(:
Can you see how since the 5 segments of the circle are equal, that the 5 sides of the pentagon also have to be equal? And since that is true, all 5 angles inside the pentagon are also equal?
