----
sum of interior angles of a pentagon: (5-2)180 = 3*180 = 540 degrees
---
James's pentagon: 80+70+120+100+6 = 376 degrees
---
Not possible.

Hi,
convex pentagon with the angles measuring 80 degrees, 70 degrees, 120 degrees, 100 degrees and 6 degrees.
Is this possible? Pentagon(5 sides) S%5BA%5D+=+180%28highlight%285%29-2%29+=+540%B0
80° + 70° + 120° + 100° + 6° = 376° NOT possible for a pentagon
