How do you find the measures of interior angles on a pentagon?
---
If it's a regular pentagon,
there are 5 exterior angles.
---
Sum of those angles is 360
---
Each ext. angle is 360/5 = 72 degrees.
====
So, each interior angle is 180-72 = 108 degrees.
=============================
Another way to do it.
Sum of the interior angles is (n-2)180 = 3*180 = 540
Then 540/5 = 108 degrees.
