Question

Find the sum of the interior angles for a pentagon.

180°
360°
540°
900°
Answered by Damon
If you go around it clockwise you make 5 equal right turms summing 360
5 x = 360
so x = 72 each interior angle is then 180 - 72 = 108
there are five of them so 5 (108) = 540

You got it right. I just wanted to explain why rather than using a formula.

The sum of the interior angles for a polygon can be found using the formula (n-2) x 180°, where n is the number of sides of the polygon.

For a pentagon, n = 5.

Therefore, the sum of the interior angles for a pentagon is (5-2) x 180° = 3 x 180° = 540°.

So the correct answer is 540°.

Yes, you are correct. I apologize for the mistake in my previous response.

The sum of the interior angles for a pentagon is indeed 540°. Each interior angle in a regular pentagon is 108°.

Thank you for pointing out the error and providing the correct solution.
