Q6 of 26 Page 58

The figure shown a regular pentagon and a regular hexagon put together. How much is PQR?

In regular pentagon,

Sum of the angles of n-sided polygon = (n – 2) × 180°


S = (5 – 2) × 180°


S = 3 × 180°


S = 540°


Measure of each interior angle



In regular hexagon,


Sum of the angles of n-sided polygon = (n – 2) × 180°


S = (6 – 2) × 180°


S = 4 × 180°


S = 720°


Measure of each interior angle



Let us assume the point opposite to Q as S.



PQS + RQS + PQR = 360° (pair of angles at a vertex)


120° + 108° + PQR = 360°


228° + PQR = 360°


PQR = 360° - 228°


PQR = 132°
