is there a distict area in a pentagon... i mean like in a triangle the degree thing is 180. it has to be so for all triangles..or for a circle it is 360. what about a pentagon?

All 5 angles will equal 540 degrees.

Pentagon Degrees

For all polygons (including pentagons):
The sum of the exterior angles = 360 degrees
The sum of the interior angles = 180x(n-2) degrees
For a triangle, as you already noted, that's:
S(i) = 180x(3-2) = 180x1 = 180 degrees
Which means, for a pentagon:
S(i) = 180x(5-2) = 180x3 = 540 degrees
For something further, say an octagon:
S(i) = 180x(8-2) = 180x6 = 1080 degrees

360 degrees for everything (equal sided figure) that has more than 3 sides, but you take the supplementary angle.
If it's a hexagon (360/6= 60) take 60 and subtract from 180. That would be the inside angle of the hexagon (120 degrees)
pentagon 360/5=72 180-72=108 degrees

Use this formula... measurement of interior angle = (n - 2)180°/n Note that pentagon contains n = 5. Then... (5 - 2)180°/5 = 540°/5 = 108° Hence, the statement is true I hope this helps!

Yes.What you are talking about is sum of interior angles.
first subtract the # of sides by 2
5-2=3
then multiply it to 180.
This works for all polygons even with 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
sides

the sum of degree of any polgon=180*(n-2)
as n is the number of sides so
degree of pentagon=180*(5-2)
=180*3
=540

internal angles will add up to 360 degrees
