What is the measure of each interior angle of a regular pentagon?

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

You would want to use the formula: 180(x-2) Where x = The side.

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

So how many sides are there in a regular petnagon?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Good. So x = 5 So your equation should look like: 180(5-2) What would the equation give you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

540

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Great! Now that's the total degree of the interior angles. We want to find one interior angle. So you want to divide 540 by the total amount of sides in a pentagon. So 540 divided by what number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Good. 540/5 would give us?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

108

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Great! So the answer is 108 degrees! I hope this help! :)
