Question 8 • AHS Geometry B

One exterior angle of a regular pentagon has a measure of (2x)°. What is the value of x?

Answer
A
x = 18
B
x = 20
C
x = 30
D
x = 36

Explanation

The exterior angles of any polygon add up to 360°. A regular pentagon has 5 equal exterior angles, so each measures 360° ÷ 5 = 72°. Since one exterior angle is 2x°, we have 2x = 72, so x = 36. The correct choice is x = 36.
