regular pentagon

Pentagons

THINGS TO DO

You should have one acute and two obtuse Isotiles.

On the left is a regular pentagon: five equal sides and five equal angles.

Can you put all three Isotiles together, so that you also make a regular pentagon?

Now, by adding up the angles of the Isotiles (which you have already discovered), work out the sum of all five angles of this shape.
