In the diagram, PQRST is a regular polygon with sides QR and TS produced to meet at V. Find the size of < RVS
-
A.
36o
-
B.
54o
-
C.
60o
-
D.
72o
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
PQRST is a regular polygon with 5 sides-pentagon n = 5, Each exterior angle = \(\frac{360^o}{n}\)
= \(\frac{350}{5}\) = 70o
Each interior angle = 180 - 72o
(< s on str. line) = 180o
Since the pentagon is regular, the exterior angles are equal < R = 72o and < S = 72o
< RVS = 180o - (< R + < S)
= 180o - (72o + 72o)
= 180o - 144o
= 36o
