Question

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

I have learned this, I just need help remembering what to do

Answer 1

how many sides does a pentagon have?

Answer 2

5

Answer 3

\[\frac{ (\sum~of~angles) }{ number~of~angles } = degrees~of~each~\angle\]

Answer 4

So 1440 divided by 5?

Answer 5

Your question is wrong though. There are not 1440 degrees in a pentagon.

Answer 6

Ok, but say there were, would dividing 1440 by 5 be correct?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

Ok, so in that case, I got 288. And that would be the degree of each angle.
