Question
Find the magnitude, in radians and degrees, of the interior angle of a regular pentagon.
Advertisements
Solution
\[\text{ Sum of the interior angles of the polygon }= \left( n - 2 \right)\pi\]
Number of sides in the pentagon = 5
\[ \therefore \text{ Sum of the interior angles of the pentagon }= \left( 5 - 2 \right)\pi = 3\pi\]
\[\text{ Each angle of the pentagon }= \frac{\text{Sum of the interior angles of the polygon}}{\text{Number of sides}} = \frac{3\pi}{5}\text{ rad }\]
\[\text{ Each angle of the pentagon }= \left( \frac{3\pi}{5} \times \frac{180}{\pi} \right)^\circ= 108^\circ\]

Let the angles of the quadrilateral be \[\left( a - 3d \right)^\circ, \left( a - d \right)^\circ, \left( a + d \right)^\circ \text{ and }\left( a + 3d \right)^\circ\]
We know: \[a - 3d + a - d + a + d + a - 2d = 360\]
\[ \Rightarrow 4a = 360\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = 90\]
We have:
Greatest angle = 120°
Now,
\[a + 3d = 120\]
\[ \Rightarrow 90 + 3d = 120\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3d = 30\]
\[ \Rightarrow d = 10\]
Hence,
\[\left( a - 3d \right)^\circ, \left( a - d \right)^\circ, \left( a + d \right)^\circ\text{ and }\left( a + 3d \right)^\circ\] are
