Does a pentagon have 2 right angles?

Answer 1

Answer

In a regular pentagon, there are no right angles. A regular pentagon is one that has 5 equal sides and 5 equal angles. The sum of the 5 angles is 540 degrees. This is found by subtracting 2 from the number of sides and multiplying by 180 degrees. For a regular pentagon the formula would be (5 - 2) * 180 = 540. This works for all polygons. Just replace the 5 with the number of side in the polygon. A good website to visit for this is http://regentsprep.org/Regents/math/poly/LPoly1.htm.

A non-regular pentagon can have right angles. Home plate on a Baseball field would be an example.

Original Answer Nope, it has 5 angles of 72 degrees each.

sorry just make it simple always take 180 degrees and divided by the # of sides it will always give you the correct cut angle to make a angle frame exmp 180 degrees / by 8 = 22.5 that cut would give you a octagone. so for a equal sided polygon always divide the 180 degrees by the # of sides. so for a pentagon the cut would be 36 degrees on each end which = 72 degrees 72 X 5 (sides) = 360 degrees
