The sum of the interior angles of a polygon, with n sides, is
(n - 2)*180 degrees.
For a pentagon, n = 5 so (5-2)*180 = 3*180 = 540 degrees.
The interior angles of a pentagon sum to 540 degrees.
540 degrees
Square = 360 Pentagon = 540 Octagon = 1080
The 5 interior angles add up to 540 degrees
For any pentagon the sum of the internal angles is 540.To calculate this, draw the pentagon and split it into triangles by drawing lines from one corner to the other corners, which should produce 3 triangles.The sum of internal angles of a triangle is 180, therefore, multiplying the amount of triangles by the internal angles of a triangle gives the total internal angle.Therefore, for a pentagon, 3 triangles * 180 = 540.This method can be done for any polygon.EDIT: This is an absolutely BRILLIANT answer ! It's well-structured, precise and accurate - an excellent example of how to answer a question ! I wanted to award a well-deserved trust-point, but couldn't because it came from an anonymous web-site.

The sum of the internal angles of a pentagon is 540 degrees.
They are both 2 dimensional objects with five straight sides and five angles. The sum of the internal angles is 540 degrees, the sum of the exterior angles is 360 degrees.
No, the internal angles of a simple pentagon sum to 540 degrees. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon
The sum of a pentagon's interior angles is 540 degrees.sum of them is 540 degresseach angle is 180 degrees
A 5 sided pentagon has exterior angles that add up to 360 degrees and interior angles that add up to 540 degrees
The sum of the internal angles is 540. Thus each internal angle is 108
The sum of internal angles of a shape is given by the equation 180(n-2) where n is the number of sides. For a pentagon, which has 5 sides, this would be 180x3 = 540. The sum of external angles of a shape is given by (180-(x/n))n where n is the number of sides and x is the sum of internal angles. For a pentagon, this would be 5x(180-540/5) = 360
A pentagon has five internal angles.
all regular polygons (such as a pentagon) have the sum of their exterior angles = 360 degrees
The formula for the internal angles of a polygon of n sides is (n-2)*180, so the sum of the angles in a pentagon is 540 degrees. For a regular pentagon, each angle would be 108 degrees.
Total sum of interior angles of a pentagon: 540 degrees
The 5 interior angles of a pentagon add up to 540 degrees
