B

Problem Solving & Reasoning

Answer all questions. Provide explanations where necessary.
1.
A pentagon has interior angles measuring 120°, 108°, 108°, 108°, and an unknown angle. Find the measure of the unknown angle.
[3 marks]
2.
Explain why the sum of the exterior angles of any convex pentagon is always 360°.
[4 marks]
3.
A regular pentagon is inscribed in a circle. Calculate the measure of the central angle between two adjacent vertices.
[3 marks]
4.
Construct a pentagon with sides of 4 cm each. Then, construct its diagonals. Verify if the diagonals bisect each other.
[4 marks]
5.
Given a pentagon where one interior angle is 135°, and the other four angles are equal, find the measure of each of the other four angles.
[3 marks]
C

Real-world Applications

Answer all questions. Use the grid for sketches or calculations.
1.
