Equilateral pentagon of δ can be seen from the figure: Simplifying, δ is obtained as function of α and β: The remaining angles of the pentagon can be found geometrically: The remaining angles of the orange and blue triangles are readily found by noting that two angles of an isosceles triangle are equal while all three angles sum to 180°. Then formula_7 and the two remaining angles of the green triangle can be found from four equations stating that the sum of the angles of the pentagon is 540°, the sum of the angles of the green triangle is 180°, the angle
Pentagon if one joins the non-adjacent corners (drawing the diagonals of the pentagon), one obtains a pentagram, with a smaller regular pentagon in the center. Or if one extends the sides until the non-adjacent sides meet, one obtains a larger pentagram. The accuracy of this method depends on the accuracy of the protractor used to measure the angles. The "regular pentagon" has Dih symmetry, order 10. Since 5 is a prime number there is one subgroup with dihedral symmetry: Dih, and 2 cyclic group symmetries: Z, and Z. These 4 symmetries can be seen in 4 distinct symmetries on the pentagon.
