Solution
(a) Since there are 5 vertices, the figure is a pentagon.
Sum of interior angles of a polygon is given by the formula (n-2) * 180, where n is the number of sides. Here n = 5.
Therefore sum of the interior angle of the pentagon = (5 - 2) * 180 = 3 * 180 = 540o.
(b) The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon, irrespective of the number of vertices is always equal to 360o.
