A pentagon has five sides with equal lengths

The sum of interior angles of a pentagon is 540°

To get the measure of an interior angle you perform division

In this case divide the total sum of interior angles by the number of sides

This will be : 540° / 5 = 108°

The measure of an interior angle of a hexagon is : 108 °

The measure of the exterior angle will be ; 180° - 108° = 72°

Answer : Interior angle measure ; 108°

Exterior angle measure ; 72°
