What is the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a regular polygon if each exterior angle measures 72?
A. 720 B. 1080 C. 360 D. 180 E. 540 F. 900
The sum of the exterior angles of any regular polygon is 360. 360/72 = 5 which means that there are 5 interior angles of the regular polygon, and thus 5 sides. The polygon is a pentagon. If each exterior angle of the regular polygon has measure 72, then the adjacent interior angle has measure 180 - 72 = 108. 108 *5 = ? degrees for the sum of the interior anlges of the pentagon. @Danny_Boy Note: Regular polyons are both equiangular and equilateral.
so my answer would be 180??? @Directrix
@Danny_Boy >>so my answer would be 180??? NO Multiply 108 times 5 and that is your answer.
