A pentagon has four of its angles equal. If the size of the fifth angle is 60∘60^\circ, find the size of each of the four equal angles.

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. The interior angles of a pentagon add up to (5−2)×180∘=540∘(5 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 540^\circ.
  2. The four equal angles share 540∘−60∘=480∘540^\circ - 60^\circ = 480^\circ.
  3. So each is 480∘÷4=120∘480^\circ \div 4 = 120^\circ, option C.
