Question

Math Grade 8

Can anyone help me find the correct answer this question Math question ?

The building for the headquarters for the United States Department of Defense is in the shape of a regular polygon with five sides. What is the measure of one of the interior angles of the building?

Answer 1

The angles of a regular pentagon add up to 180°. So, you can set up this equation:

`5x = 360`

And then solve for x:

`x = (360)/(5) = 72`

So, the interior angle is equal to 72°.

Answer 2

72 degrees
Since it's a regular polygon with 5 sides, you divide 360 by 5. You'd end up with 72. Hope this helps
