The formula for the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon in degrees is
, where
is the number of sides on the polygon.
In the case of a regular pentagon with five sides, we can say that
. Using the formula below, we can find the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon:
![180(5 - 2) = 180(3) = 540](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/lyarvik243j70hsxbmva3anoc6ynkytyku.png)
The sum of the interior angles is 540°.
