Question

Q1.work out the sum of the interior angles of a pentagon.

Answer 1

Answer:

Question 1:

The sum of interior angles of a polygon can be found by the following formula:

(n-2) × 180

Where n is the no. of sides

A pentagon has 5 sides

So,

= (5-2) × 180

= (3) × 180

= 540 degrees

Question 2:

Since The sum of interior angles of a regular octagon is 1080 and the total interior angle are 8

So, Measure of interior angle = $\frac{1080}{8}$

Measure of interior angle = 135 degrees

Question 3:

Since, one interior angle in a hexagon measures 120 degrees.

So,

The interior angle should be subtracted by 180 to get the exterior angle.

Exterior angle = 180-120

Exterior Angle = 60 degrees
