Example Questions Last Year: Find the value of x. This year: No; regular pentagons cannot be used to tile a floor. Since the angle sum of a regular pentagon is 540 degrees, each interior angle is 540 ÷ 5 = 108, which is not a factor of 360. Thus, copies of a 108 degree angle will not fit around a point.
