Answer:

108 degrees

Explanation:

The formula for the total sum of the angles in any REGULAR shape is


(n-2) * 180, where n represents the number of sides.

The shape in the picture shown is a pentagon (5 sides).


(5-2) * 180\\


3 * 180

=
540

So the angle sum is 540 degrees.

Again, we are told that it is a regular polygon, meaning all sides and angles in the shape are equal.

So to find one angle, just divide it by the number of sides.


540/5 = 108
