Sum of interior angles for any polygon = (n-2)*180
where n is the number of sides.
So for a pentagon, (5-2)*180 = 540 degrees
Total angles in pentagon is 5
THerefore each angle measures 540/5 = 108 degrees.
You can apply this formula for any figure like triangle, square, hexagon, etc.
All the very best!!

The link under may be useful to you. the sum of the interior angles of a polygon = one hundred eighty (n-2) the place N is the form of sides. for a pentagon one hundred eighty(5-2)= one hundred eighty x3 =540 for a conventional pentagon all angles are equivalent. as a result: 540/5 =108 stages.

each interior angle measures 108 degrees provided it is a regular pentagon ie all 5 sides equal and all 5 angles equal.

The formula is 180(n-2) where n is the number of angles.
180*3=540°

well in a pentagon,the sum of all the interoior angles = 540
so each angle in regular pentagon, where all sides are equal and all angles are equal is108°.
hope it helps

interior angle=(1/n)[(n-2)*pi]
=(1/5)[(5-2)pi]
=1/5*3pi
=108*

you can use the formula (n-2)*180 only if it is a regular polygon(all sides same).
