Equilateral Pentagon Angles

In geometry an equilateral pentagon is a polygon with five sides of equal length. Its five internal angles, in turn, can take several values, thus permitting to form a family of pentagons. In contrast, the regular pentagon is unique, because is equilateral but at the same time its five angles are equal. Four intersecting equal circles disposed in a closed chain, are sufficient to describe an equilateral pentagon. ( Source Wikipedia )


I like to share this Equilateral Polygon with you all through my article.

Examples

Problems 1

Find the missing angle on the pentagon

Is the four angle on the equilateral pentagon are 150, 100, 58 and 67

Solution

The sum of the 5 angles of pentagon is 540

The given angles are

Angle 1 a1=150

Angle 2 a2=100

Angle 3 a3=58

Angle 4 a4=67

Let the missing angle be x

Angle 5 a5=x

a1+a2+a3+a4+a5=540

150+100+58+67+x=540

250+125+x=540

375+x=540

Subtract 375 on both sides

375-375+x=540-375

x=165

The missing angle is 165

I am planning to write more post on solve my algebra problems and free step by step algebra problem solver. Keep checking my blog.

Problems 2

Find the missing angle on the pentagon

Is the four angle on the equilateral pentagon are 150, 70, 158 and 67

Solution

The sum of the 5 angles of pentagon is 540

The given angles are

Angle 1 a1=150

Angle 2 a2=70

Angle 3 a3=158

Angle 4 a4=67

Let the missing angle be x

Angle 5 a5=x

a1+a2+a3+a4+a5=540

150+70+158+67+x=540

220+225+x=540

445+x=540

Subtract 375 on both sides

455-455+x=540-455

x=95

The missing angle is 95

Problems 3

Find the missing angle on the pentagon

Is the four angle on the equilateral pentagon are 100, 150, 90 and 40

Solution

The sum of the 5 angles of pentagon is 540

The given angles are

Angle 1 a1=100

Angle 2 a2=150

Angle 3 a3=90

Angle 4 a4=40

Let the missing angle be x

Angle 5 a5=x

a1+a2+a3+a4+a5=540

100+150+90+40+x=540

250+130+x=540

380+x=540

Subtract 375 on both sides

380-380+x=540-380

x=160

The missing angle is 160

Problems 4

Find the missing angle on the pentagon

Is the four angle on the equilateral pentagon are 155, 120, 60 and 70

Solution

The sum of the 5 angles of pentagon is 540

The given angles are

Angle 1 a1=155

Angle 2 a2=120

Angle 3 a3=60

Angle 4 a4 =70

Let the missing angle be x

Angle 5 a5=x

a1+a2+a3+a4+a5=540

155+120+60+70+x=540

275+130+x=540

405+x=540

Subtract 375 on both sides

405-405+x=540-405

x=135

The missing angle is 135
