Calculate the interior angle of a 5 - sided regular polygon
120º
90º
108º
180º
Explanation
To calculate the interior angle of a regular polygon, we use the formula:
\(\text{Interior Angle} = \frac{(n - 2) \times 180^\circ}{n}\)
where \( n \) is the number of sides. For a 5-sided polygon (pentagon):
\(\text{Interior Angle} = \frac{(5 - 2) \times 180^\circ}{5} = \frac{3 \times 180^\circ}{5} = \frac{540^\circ}{5} = 108^\circ\)
Thus, the interior angle of a regular pentagon is \( 108^\circ \).
