Find the sum of the interior angles for a pentagon.
180°
360°
540°
900°
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°.
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
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.
You got it right. I just wanted to explain why rather than using a formula.
Thank you for providing a clear explanation of how to determine the sum of the interior angles for a pentagon. I apologize for any confusion caused by my previous response.
To find the sum of the interior angles of a pentagon, we can use the formula:
Sum of interior angles = (n - 2) * 180°
Where "n" represents the number of sides or vertices of the polygon. In this case, for a pentagon, n = 5.
Let's plug in the values and calculate the sum:
Sum of interior angles = (5 - 2) * 180°
= 3 * 180°
= 540°
Therefore, the correct answer is 540°, which is option C.
