Regular pentagon has an interior angle measuring 108° true or false?

so penta is 5
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
find the exterior angle first,
since u already knw that exterior angles sum to 360
OpenStudy (colcaps):
so ill use the formula?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
penta has 5 vertices,
so,
5x = 360
x = ?
OpenStudy (colcaps):
5x=360
5x=360 cancel out then divide?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
hmm yes,
5x = 360
x = 360/5
= ?
OpenStudy (colcaps):
answer is 72
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
thats exterior angle
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
but u also knw that,
exterior + interior = 180
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
so.. ?

108?
OpenStudy (colcaps):
180-72
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
Excellent !
72 + interior = 180
interior = 180 - 72
= 108
OpenStudy (colcaps):
so its true
OpenStudy (colcaps):
thank you very much i think im starting to like geom

you would love it and get addicted to it i promise :P
OpenStudy (colcaps):
i have another question lol
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
sure ask
OpenStudy (colcaps):
the measure of the interior angle of a convex polygon is always greater than the measure of its adjacent exterior angle true or false?
OpenStudy (colcaps):
so is that the one you answered earlier the visualizing ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
no.. this one slightly different
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
so it says, interior angle is always greater than exterior angle ha ?
OpenStudy (colcaps):
yeah
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
lets try to prove it wrong.

is a triangle called a polygon ?
OpenStudy (colcaps):
what do you mean prove it wrong? wait a minute you mean proving, i dont like proving i failed my quiz because of that
OpenStudy (colcaps):
yes the triangle is a polygon because its a plane
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
lol, ok not that kind of proving, we wil just do common-sense level reasoning and try to prove it wrong if we can :)
OpenStudy (colcaps):
oh lol ok

wait let me confirm, if triangle and rectangle fall under polygons or not
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
coz, if they fall under polygons, then, in a triangle, the interior angle is NOT always greater than exterior
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
|dw:1349688974556:dw|
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
thats interior angle
OpenStudy (colcaps):
well poly means many triangle has three which is many in my dictionary

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
thats exterior angle, so clearly interior angle < exterior angle,
so the given statement is FALSE
OpenStudy (colcaps):
oh so add the exterior and the interior and youll get the outside line i kinda rememer that
OpenStudy (colcaps):
i forgot the formula
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
let me confirm, il do quick google to see if triangle is called an polygon or not

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
A polygon is a closed figure with three or more sides. The prefix poly- means “many” while -gon means “angle.” So a polygon is a many-angled figure.
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
thats from FLVS
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
so, we are correct :)
OpenStudy (colcaps):
omg here it comes the postulates and stuff lol

they're more fun than polygons :)

brb

okie
