Does a pentagon have a right angle?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking whether a pentagon can contain a right angle. A pentagon is a five-sided polygon, and the angles in a polygon can vary. We will explore the properties of pentagons and their angles to determine if right angles are possible.

Answer

A regular pentagon has no right angles, while an irregular pentagon can have up to three.

A regular pentagon has no right angles, while an irregular pentagon can have up to three right angles.

Answer for screen readers

A regular pentagon has no right angles, while an irregular pentagon can have up to three right angles.

More Information

Regular pentagons have all interior angles equal to 108°, hence no right angles. Irregular pentagons can vary, allowing the potential for up to three right angles.

Tips

Avoid assuming a pentagon always has an angle configuration similar to regular polygons, as irregular shapes vary.
