how do I find the number of degrees in the point angle of a {5/2} star polygon?
Since it is a polygon and a polygon has to equal 360 degrees...would I divide 360 by 5?
Please help
To find the number of degrees in the point angle of a {5/2} star polygon, you are correct that you need to divide 360 degrees by the total number of vertices (or points) in the star polygon.
In a {5/2} star polygon, there are 5 vertices or points. So, you would divide 360 degrees by 5 to find the measure of each point angle.
360 degrees / 5 = 72 degrees
Therefore, each point angle in a {5/2} star polygon measures 72 degrees.
