To find the sum of the interior angles of a pentagon, we can use the formula:
Sum of interior angles = (n-2) * 180 degrees
In this case, n is the number of sides of the polygon, which is 5 for a pentagon.
So, the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon is (5-2) * 180 degrees = 3 * 180 degrees = 540 degrees.
