Would I just divide again by the parts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because then my answer is 72, but I don't know if there are difference rules for different shapes.

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

Yes!, please, you have to divide by 5. Subsequently you have to divide again, your result by two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 360/5 and then 72 /2?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this rule only for pentagons or are there any other shapes that also have this rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like for a square? Would I need to do anything else?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the rule is only for pentagon, in general yuo have to divide by the number of triangles in which your polygon is broken. For example in the case of a square, in order to find the measure of each angle at the center, you have to divide by four

Okay, thank you. You're the best!

Thank you!
