How do you do this when there is no other information given?
reworded: A circle has five points placed on it, each an equal distance away. Hint: a circle has 360 degrees. Still need help?
36?
Lets see. first know that any inscribed angle is equal to half of the length of its arc. from there, know that each point is 360/5 degrees away from eachother. This number is 72.
angle 1 contains two out of the five segments inside of the circle, which would be 72 x 2. this arc angle is 144.
Therefore, angle one is 144 / 2, otherwise 72 degrees. There may be a more simple way to solve the equasion, but seeing as it has been a while since I was in geometry, and I forget as to if you can simply divide 360/5 to get the answer of the individual angle. Does that help?
Yes, it was a simple question I did not get :P
I forget the simple way to answer the simple question, my apologies.. xD but that is the answer.
No! No need to apologize :P
