Answer:

B: 22.5 degrees

Explanation:

The interior angles of a pentagon add up to 540 degrees

(if you dont believe me you can turn a pentagon into three triangles, 3x180 = 540)

So you have four same angles say measure "x" degrees, and one final one that measures "5x" degrees, so 9x = 540, and x = 60

Unless I read the problem wrong, 60 degrees is the answer which is not an option :P

Edit: Yea I read it wrong, the final angle is 5 times the other four angles COMBINED, so that angle measures "20x" degrees.

The total would be 24x = 540, and so x = 22.5
