Since ABCd is a pentagon with equal sides and equal interior angles, each interior angle of the pentagon is 108 degrees (since the sum of interior angles of a pentagon is 540 degrees).
Since BE is a diagonal of the pentagon, it divides angle B into two equal angles, a and t. Therefore, angle B is split into two angles of 54 degrees each.
Similarly, since E is a diagonal of the pentagon, it divides angle E into two equal angles, E1 and E2. Therefore, angle E is split into two angles of 54 degrees each.
Therefore, the interior angles of the pentagon ABCd are: - Angle A = 108 degrees - Angle B = 54 degrees - Angle C = 108 degrees - Angle d = 108 degrees - Angle E = 54 degrees

Step 1: Interior Angles of a Pentagon
- A regular pentagon has 5 equal sides and 5 equal interior angles. - The sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is (n-2) - 180°. - For a pentagon, this is (5-2) - 180° = 540°.
Step 2: Interior Angles of the House
- Angle B is split into two angles, a and t. - Since the interior angles of a pentagon are equal, we know that: - m∠a = m∠t = m∠E1 = m∠E2 = x
Step 3: Angle at Point E
- The interior angles of a polygon at a vertex must sum to 360°. - Therefore, we have: - m∠E + m∠E1 + m∠E2 = 360° - m∠E + x + x = 360° - m∠E = 360° - 2x
Step 4: Interior Angles of the Pentagon
- We now have three unknown angles to solve for: x, a, and t. - Since x is shared between the house and the pentagon, we can use the fact that the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon is 540°: - m∠a + m∠t + m∠E + m∠B + m∠C + m∠D = 540° - x + x + (360° - 2x) + 180° + 180° + 180° = 540° - 4x = 360° - x = 90°
Step 5: Interior Angles of the House
- Now that we know x = 90°, we can find the interior angles of the house: - m∠a = m∠t = 90° - m∠E = 360° - 2x = 360° - 2(90°) = 180°
Therefore, the interior angles of the pentagon are:
