A pentagon has interior angles that sum to _____.

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

Do you know the formula to find the sum of interior angles of a polygon? :)

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

A pentagon is made up of three triangles. A triangle has 180 degrees total . . . so what do we do to solve for the total of a pentagon?

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

Sum of interior angles = 180 * (n - 2) where "n" = number of sides. Note: pentagons have 5 sides.. therefore n = 5 Plug it into the formula and solve :)

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Yeah, that too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5*180

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

remember it is Angle sum of polygon = 180 * (n - 2) n = 5..therefore we have: angle sum of pentagon = 180 * (5 - 2)

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Remember the 5 - 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

yep. Now 3 * 180 = ?

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Yeah, now find the product/

OpenStudy (anonymous):
