OpenStudy (krabsen):

is there 360 or 180 degreeds in a pentagon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (krabsen):

hehe you cant say yes

OpenStudy (phi):

if you walked around the figure, you would keep changing direction. When you get back to where you started you would be facing the same direction. How many degrees did you "rotate". How many turns did you make?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its that im not shure wich

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 times

OpenStudy (krabsen):

not 4 times :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no lol than teach me

OpenStudy (krabsen):

there are 360 degreed in it and 5 corners

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??? so how do you do it?

OpenStudy (krabsen):

you divide the degreeds with the numbers of corners

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so wats the degree

OpenStudy (phi):

If you walked in a circle, how many degrees to go all the way around? the same idea here, except you make turns instead of changing direction smoothly as on a circle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you trying to say?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on for a little im trying to do it lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooo so its 360 / 5
