(a) Answer 108 degrees Explanation Given information: Aregular pentagon. Formula used: The measure of an interior angle is: ( n − 2 ) 180 ° n , where n is equal to the number of sides. Calculation: The number of sides of a regular pentagon is 5. Thus, the value of n is 5. Plug in the value in the formula, ( n − 2 ) 180 ° n = ( 5 − 2 ) 180 ° 5 = 108 ° The measure of each interior angle of a regular pentagon is 108 degrees (b) To determine To analyze: If a floor can be tiled with tiles shaped like regular pentagon. Answer It is not possible to tile a floor with tiles shaped like regular pentagon Explanation Given information: Tiles shaped like regular pentagon. Calculation: In a regular pentagon, all sides are the same and all interior angles are the same. The measure of each interior angle of a pentagon is 108 degrees. In tiling, we need the sum of angles around any vertex to be equal to 360 degrees. As, 108 is not a divisor of 360, it is not possible to tile a floor with tiles shaped like regular pentagon.

Question

Chapter 3.5, Problem 18WE

(a)

To determine

To find: The measure of each interior angle of a regular pentagon.

(a)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 18WE

108 degrees

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Aregular pentagon.

Formula used:

The measure of an interior angle is:

(n−2)180°n , where n is equal to the number of sides.

Calculation:

The number of sides of a regular pentagon is 5. Thus, the value of n is 5.

Plug in the value in the formula,

(n−2)180°n=(5−2)180°5=108°

The measure of each interior angle of a regular pentagon is 108 degrees

(b)

To determine

To analyze:If a floor can be tiled with tiles shaped like regular pentagon.

(b)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 18WE

It is not possible to tile a floor with tiles shaped like regular pentagon

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Tiles shaped like regular pentagon.

Calculation: In a regular pentagon, all sides are the same and all interior angles are the same.

The measure of each interior angle of a pentagon is 108 degrees.

In tiling, we need the sum of angles around any vertex to be equal to 360 degrees.

As, 108 is not a divisor of 360, it is not possible to tile a floor with tiles shaped like regular pentagon.
