One angle of a pentagon is 160 degree. Find each of the other angles given that they are all equal to each other
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sum of interior angles of a pentagon is (5-2)*180 = 3*180 = 540 degrees.

So, we need to distract 160 degrees from 540 degrees and divide by 4:

%28540-160%29%2F4 = 95 degrees.

Answer. 95 degrees.
