The formula of measure of the interior angle of a polygon is:
180%28n-2%29 where n is the number of sides of the polygon.
Since a pentagon has 5 sides, we substitute 5 for n.
180%285+-+2%29
180%283%29
540
THus, the measure of the interior angles of a pentagon ( take note, any kind of pentagon, not only for regular ones) is 540 degrees.
THank you.
