Example Question #1 : How To Find An Angle In A Pentagon
A convex pentagon has four angles that measure each. What is the measure of the fifth angle?
This pentagon cannot exist.
This pentagon cannot exist.
The angles of a pentagon measure a total of . If we let the unknown angle measure be
, then from this information:
Since an angle measure cannot be negative, this pentagon cannot exist.
