1) this is an acute triangle. When you add all of a triangles degrees together, it should equal 180. So, if you add the two degrees given, and subtract that from 180, you should get 88.3. 88.3<90, so the triangles acute.
2) 288 degrees. All you have to do is divide 1440 by 5. A pentagon has 5 angles, and if it's an equal pentagon, all the angles are the same measure.
