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
, 2019
Pick one
Solution
Join and . Since is equilateral, then . Since pentagon is regular, then . Thus, and , which means that and are isosceles. [[IMAGE0]] Each interior angle in a regular pentagon measures . Since , then . Since is isosceles with , then . Thus, . By symmetry,
Finally,
