Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration of a pentagon with the vertices labeled upper A, upper B, upper C, upper D, and upper E clockwise from the bottom.
Find the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon.
(1 point)
The sum of the interior angles of the polygon is
°.
The formula to find the sum of the interior angles of any polygon with \( n \) sides is:
\[
\text{Sum of interior angles} = (n - 2) \times 180^\circ
\]
For a pentagon, which has 5 sides, the sum of the interior angles can be calculated by plugging \( n = 5 \) into the formula:
\[
\text{Sum of interior angles} = (5 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 3 \times 180^\circ = 540^\circ
\]
The sum of the interior angles of the pentagon is \( 540^\circ \).
