Pentagons and Hexagons

Pentagons are polygons with 5 sides. The sum of the interior angles in a pentagon is 540°.

Pentagon in Geometry

In a regular pentagon, all the sides and all the angles are equal, and so each of the interior angles measures 540°/5= 108°.

Similarly, hexagons are polygons with six sides. The sum of the interior angles in a hexagon is 720°.

Hexagon in Geometry

In a regular hexagon, all the sides and all the angles are equal, and so each of the interior angles measures 720°/6= 120°.
