Question

All sides of the convex pentagon $ABCDE$ are of equal length, and $\angle A = \angle B = 90^\circ$. What is the degree measure of $\angle E$?

Answer 1

∠E = 150°

Explanation:

All sides of the convex pentagon ABCDE are of equal length, and ∠A = ∠B = 90°. What is the degree measure of ∠E?

Solution:

A pentagon is a polygon with five sides and five angles. For a regular polygon, all the sides are equal and each angle is 108°.

Since ∠A and ∠B are right angles, and AE = BC = AB = CE. Therefore ABCE is a square. This means ∠AEC = 90°

Also triangle CDE is equilateral because all sides of the triangle are equal, hence ∠DEC = 60°.

Therefore ∠E = ∠AEC + ∠DEC = 90° + 60°

∠E = 150°
