Will a pentagon always equal 360 degrees?

The external angles will. The internal angles will equal 540o.


What are the angles in degrees of a regular pentagon?

Because a pentagon has 5 angles and all must be equal, you can divide the total degrees (360) by the number of sides (5) to get the degrees per angle. 360 / 5 = 72 degrees per angle.


What is the degrees all around a pentagon?

360


What is the angle of rotation in a pentagon?

360 degrees divided by 5 (sides of a pentagon) gives you 72 degrees.


What degrees are the angles of a pentagon?

you basically do 360 divided by 5 (the sides of a pentagon) which is ...ummm.. 72 degrees


What do the angels of a pentagon add up to 360?

The 5 exterior angles of a pentagon add up to 360 degrees


Why can't a regular pentagon tile a plane?

A regular pentagon has 5 equal sides and 5 equal angles. If each vertex (corner) is joined by a line to the pentagon's centre there are 5 equal angles at the centre, which total 360 degrees. Therefore each one is 360/5 degrees = 72 degrees. The other angles inside the 5 triangles are equal and must total 180 - 72 degrees = 108 degrees. The "external angles" equal the ones at the centre (72 degrees). Now, if a regular figure is to tesselate it must have angles which are simple fractions of 360 degrees, like 10 or 15 or 20 or 30, 40. 45, 60, 90, and angles of 72 or 108 degrees are no use for the purpose.

What is true about the Diagonals of a regular pentagon?

72 degrees unless you are making a pentagon then you would cut the boards at 1/2 of 72 degrees or 36 degrees. the secret is to remember there are 360 degrees in total. just divide that by whatever equal sided shape you need.
