Question

The sum of a regular pentagon’s internal angles is 1440o. Find the number of degrees in each angle in the polygon

Answer 1

@Adryin help please???

Answer 2

The figure drawn is a triangle. A pentagon has 5 sides.

Answer 3

I know.....it's confusingggggg

Answer 4

@Directrix just go with the first thing and ignore the drawing?

Answer 5

A regular pentagon has 5 equal internal angles. So you basically divide the 1440 by 5

Answer 6

So....288?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

Thanks!

Answer 9

@BatGirl03

The Interior Angles of a Pentagon add up to 540°
Because the pentagon is regular, the angles are congruent.
Each interior angle has measure 540/5 which is not 288.

Answer 10

The sum of the interior angles of a decagon (10 sides) is 1440.

If the decagon is regular, each internal angle has measure 1440/10.
