90° 108° 180° 540°

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Obviously, the angles in the pentagon are not 180 degrees or over. This means we can rule out C and D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you sure its not 180 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also, the angles are more than 90 degrees. This means we can rule out A. So, the answer is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I'm sure. 180 degree angles are straight lines.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was 108 -_- wtf

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, it is 108.

All angles in a regular polygon are congruent. To find the measure of one of the interior angles in a regular polygon, divide the sum of the interior angles by the number of sides. The sum of the interior angles, I, in a polygon with n sides is given by the formula below. I = (n - 2) × 180° The polygon shown has 5 sides. Substitute n = 5 into the formula, and solve for I. I = (5 - 2) × 180° = 3 × 180° = 540° Then, divide the sum by the number of sides. 540° ÷ 5 = 108°

Yeah, that works as well. Where did you find that?
