The five sides of a regular pentagon are all equal in length. Also, all interior angles of a regular pentagon have the same measure. In the diagram, is a regular pentagon and is equilateral.
The measure of obtuse is
Pick one
Join and .
Since is equilateral, then .
Since pentagon is regular, then .
Thus, and , which means that and are isosceles.
