108 degrees. As you go clockwise round the pentagon and turn at each corner, you turn through 72 degrees to make a complete turn of 360 degrees after 5 corners. Turning 180 degrees at a corner would send you back the way you came, so 108 degrees is the remaining interior angle.

A triangle has 180, a quadrilateral has 360, a pentagon has 540, etc. So the total angle is 180 (n-2), where n is the number of sides. The answer to your question would be 540 divided by 5, or 108 degrees.

The sum of the measures of the angles of a regular n-gon is (n-2)180. Divide this number by n to get the measure of each interior angle.
3X180=540 540/5=108
Each angle is 108 degrees.

The sum of angles at a point is 360.A regular pentagon has a sum total angle of 360.All the interior angles are equal,which means we have six equal interior angles.
Therefore,the measure of each interior angle is
360 divided by 6 = 60 degrees.

72 degrees ? 360 divided by 5 i think .

108, but you do realize that geography and geometry are not the same thing...
