Recall the Corollary to the Polygon Interior Angles Sum Theorem.

Corollary to the Polygon Interior Angles Sum Theorem

The measure of each interior angle of a regular n -gon can be found using the expression (n-2)180n.

A pentagon is a polygon with 5 sides. Therefore, to find the measure of an interior angle of a pentagon, we have to substitute 5 for n in this expression. ( 5-2)180/5=108
