Assessment: WAEC SSCE - General Mathematics - 2020 (Objective) Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

Find the sum of the interior angle of a pentagon.

Answer Details
The sum of the interior angles of a polygon can be found using the formula: (n-2) x 180 degrees, where "n" represents the number of sides of the polygon. In this case, the polygon is a pentagon, which has five sides. Substituting "n" with 5, we get: (5-2) x 180 degrees = 3 x 180 degrees = 540 degrees. Therefore, the sum of the interior angles of a pentagon is 540 degrees. Hence, the correct option is 540\(^o\).
