Question

The measure of each angle of a regular pentagon is ______.

Fill in the Blanks

Solution

The measure of each angle of a regular pentagon is 108°.

Explanation:

We know that, the sum of interior angles of a polygon

= (n – 2) × 180°

= (5 – 2) × 180°

= 540°

Since, it is a regular pentagon   ...[∵ In pentagon, number of sides, n = 5]

∴ Measure of each interior angle

= `"Sum of interior angles"/"Number of sides"`

= `540^circ/5`

= 108°
