A pentagon with one interior angle that measures 200 degrees is a ___________ polygon. A.concave B.convex C.regular D.none of the above

OpenStudy (igreen):

I believe we use the formula: \(180(x - 2)\) Where 'x' is the number of sides..

OpenStudy (igreen):

This is to find the sum of the interior angles of a polygon..then we can divide by the number of sides to get the measure of 1 angle.

hartnn (hartnn):

that is for regular pentagon only

OpenStudy (igreen):

Oh

hartnn (hartnn):

but we do use that formula and find the interior angle of a regular pentagon

hartnn (hartnn):

if that interior angle is > 200, then our pentagon is concave if that interior angle is = 200, then our pentagon is regular if that interior angle is < 200, then our pentagon is convex

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be concave?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or regular im kinda confused

OpenStudy (igreen):

It says it measures 200 degrees.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Concave is if the angle measures more than 200 degrees, convex is if the angle measures less than 200 degrees..

hartnn (hartnn):

what is the interior angle of a regular pentagon?

hartnn (hartnn):

lets not get into all that and directly use this : Concave or Convex A convex pentagon has no angles pointing inwards. More precisely, no internal angles can be more than 180°. When any internal angle is greater than 180° it is concave. (Think: concave has a "cave" in it)
